253	799	30/10/2010	35	nests were in small copse of Eucalypts on very edge of village opposite open fynbos; adults seen entering and leaving several nests
2769	799	25/8/2012	0	This is a repeat count. Very active colony with much construction and chirping taking place. 32 nest including 6 green and 2 semi completed. Very difficult to count and take photos because of 45knots of wind. I have not been able to locate any Weaver colonies further South, yet.
5828	799	22/6/2013	29	29 nests in total. According to the Gardener about 10 remained from last year. 6 nests had green sections and 4 birds were very active. One bird had just started his "anchor" as can be seen on photo. This colony is spread across 2 adjacent trees and is already very active.
