570	803	27/12/2010	0	Within the limits of the quelea colony were small colonies of masked weavers. These photos were taken on Dec 27 on the first visit.
569	805	23/1/2011	0	Approximate count of nests per tree 45. Total number of nests - no idea - tens of thousands! Approximate position of colony, Dec 25 - Jan 25, indicated on Google Earth snap shot. The extent of the colony to the south of the plot may actually be bigger as we did not investigate it any further on foot (off our property\\\'s boundaries). On 25 Dec, nest-building had just started. On Jan 1, no eggs had yet been laid. On Jan 23, most of adults were gone, most chicks had fledged and there were 3 to 4 \\branchers\\ per tree (less than 1% of chicks still present) .
