NotesMany red bishops amongst the reeds mixed with Cape, Village, pair of yellow bishop & red collared widow group (2m & 1 Female). Many new & old small nests found, many more than adults in breeding plumage. No eggs found - seems it is still too early as red bishop males are still chasing females around. 2 other adjacent reed beds on Blue Crane have the same mix - but not photographed.
