791, Spectacled Weaver Ploceus ocularis (see species summary here)Record status ACCEPTED Vm 2303 [on-line data upload (2012-05-07): 17758] Species Spectacled Observer(s) Fleming Carrol Country, town, locus Zambia, , Mazabuka,
0000AALocality farm - Sikalozia Ranch Latitude, longitude -15.98273333, 27.85216667 [0 m accuracy] Date 2012/2/28 Notes The same nest as the Lesser Masked Weaver nest at the same site. [We have a small kitchen verandah with half height walls and bars from there to the roof. This is the first year we have had a nest built on the biltong drying wire above the washing machine and tumble drier. The through passage of this busy area did not seem to worry either the Lesser Masked or the Spectacled weavers. They certainly appreciated the preparation of the dog food. When the Spectacled pair were feeding their young we left the food out for a while before putting it out for the dogs so that the birds could feed their young.] Nest count 0 Nest site man-made
