3918, Little Weaver Ploceus luteolus (see species summary here)Record status ACCEPTED Vm 27561 [on-line data upload (2018-07-03): 372163] Species Little Weaver Observer(s) Barlow, Clive; with Russell Cryer and Geoff Dobbs Country, town, locus Gambia, , Batukunku,
NW_013016BDLocality Bantakunku Beach Latitude, longitude 13.33744, -16.8119 [0 m accuracy] Date 2018/7/1 Notes I have known about this obs for over a year - in an Acacia albida but have not counted the increasingly added nests of this solitary nester before. Ten yesterday of which 8 are showing here - hard to age them but defn some have lived through heavy rains and wind storms immediately & immed on the edge of the ocean & windy point of the coastline here . The length of entrance spout varies. I have seen situations of LW build a new nest directly on top of an old one (think submitted to you) but these nests are all well spaced. A single full coloured little weaver was in the tree and vocal - I did not see a fem yesterday. There are no wasp nests that I can see which is usual nearly de rigueur for LW in The Gambia to nest aside. Nest count 10 Nest site tree
