NotesIdentified as lesser masked weavers by the white eye of the males and the call. There were approximately five to seven males present all busy building fresh nests and chasing each other. There were a mixture of fresh nests as well as some old nests. Did not see any females. I could count approximately 12 nests distributed all over the fronds of the palm tree.
