Notes	many weaver nests in small colonies in Olifants river bed. (see vm 4133). Many reeded islands in Olifants have these small colonies of weaver nests. Because of seasonal flooding they must be new/active but never seen birds actually active in specific nests. 1st picture shows red bishop and a 'masked' weaver above nests - no direct link up possible. Area has large flocks of redbilled quelea but no link-up made - and these pictures indicate numerous small colonies.
Nest count	0
Nest site	reed
