1124CBLocality Chitunta Plains Latitude, longitude -11.5194636, 24.3626379 [0 m accuracy] Date 2019/10/11 Notes On 11 October 2019, we photographed a Bocage’s Weaver colony. We saw about 15 adults at the nest site (a bush overhanging a river), but the bush itself contained about 50 nests. I’m attaching photos of the nest site as well as a photo of one of the birds. Apparently this area is a regular breeding site for them, though the exact bush they use sometimes varies between years. Nest count 50 Nest site tree
