Notes	This is one nest in a colony of 4 that were abandoned when the builders moved in next door. The difference between this tatty, loosely-woven nest and that of the sleek beauty of the Cape Weave\'s, is marked. The birds bred elsewhere in the vicinity, as, a few weeks after this abandonment, there were adults with several begging juveniles at the bird table. I have not been able to locate this new site.
