NotesA dead tree at the edge of a farm dam held what I believe is probably a Grey Heron nest with 3 nests (which I think are Lesser Masked-Weaver) attached to the underside. On another dead tree in the dam about 20 m away are two Red-billed Buffalo Weaver nests. Attached to the underside of the larger one were 2 nests which I think are Lesser Masked-Weaver nests while there are 6 of these nests attached to the smaller one.
