Record status	ACCEPTED
Vm	18187 [on-line data upload (2015-10-29): 174116]
Species	Lesser masked weaver
Observer(s)	Zaloumis, Alex
Country, town, locus	South Africa, Limpopo, Hoedspruit, 2430BD
Locality	paint shop corner
Latitude, longitude	-24.349481, 30.957899 [0 m accuracy]
Date	2015/10/27
Notes	Location: growing colony in palm trees at corner 50m away from old hotel school colony. Comment: this group of LMW & other weavers seems to have moved away from the large cluster initially recorded in large fever trees at the Hoedspruit Estate entrance, where it was destroyed by monkeys, snakes and raptor harassment. It seems to have expanded again from the old hotel school colony to PnPay parking area and now in-between where-ever palm trees are planted. They have not colonised the avenue of large fever trees nearby. Preference for smallish palm over large fever trees is interesting. The source of local & plentiful food is not 'obvious' as this is mostly office, parking and shop area. Colony active but using old nests. No 'green' nests. Nests not counted.
Nest count	0
Nest site	tree
