vm	Species code	Date	Nests	Notes
1699	792	2/11/2011	110	In the Acasia xanthophloea about 100 nests of Lesser Masked-weavers and in the palm which I think is Phoenix reclinata about 10 nests and the two trees are in very close proximity so the colony is one large one. The majority of the nests are Lesser Masked-weavers and a few are Southern Masked-weavers.
2026	792	20/3/2012	80	There were approximately 80 nests spread over a few trees. The palm tree has died and so no nests there. These nests are also abandoned with no birds in the area for the seven days I was in the area.
