Notes1,2 m long. Caught in the act after eating bird and eggs in a weavers nest. Email - the pair of red headed weavers had one nest built on the edge of my roof ceiling beam on my veranda. They did not mind me watching them every day as they were building their nest. The nest was 2 meters from the front door. The tiger snake was in the nest that night eating the eggs. The next morning I discovered that it was still in the nest and removed it to a tree as I was afraid that one of the locals working for me would kill it.
