Notes	7 including 2 green one side of reeds and further 7 on the other side with very active birds. This is a small man made pond in a new gated residential area with only fynbos in gardens. I have no doubt that there are more nests hidden in the reeds in a very small area of maybe 30 m2. the whole area will show more colonies as well when I explore it properly.
