History of repeat colony counts
Note: repeats from the same day are not shown.vm Species code Date Nests Notes 2255 792 22/2/2012 57 this is a mixed colony of weavers located next to a security entrance. the individual birds are hard to identify as they are secretive. I have recognised one red headed weaver and another sp. my interest is in the 'multi chambered or interlinked nests'. there are about 57 nests clustered in this hook thorn tree. 3720 792 30/10/2012 83 Lesser masked weavers only. 83 completed old & new nests.(was 57) very active colony, building, displaying, stripping other nests/stealing from each other.

7188 792 6/10/2013 0 Vm 3720 revisited. Males busy building. Females in attendance. Weaves becoming habituated to my regular visits. Most old nests have been stripped and new nests being built. 8894 792 25/2/2014 0 Vm 7188 revisited. one female identifies. Note numerous 'double nests' that were not there early this season. New built below old (all this season). Raises the question did they breed twice but each time build a new nest. No nest recount.
