NotesThere was a Sociable Weaver nest that had been built in a Rock Fig tree but eventually became so heavy that it bent the branch and now touches the ground, needless to say they have abandoned it. There was however 2 active ones near the farm house but unfortunately they did not have a resident Pygmy Falcon.
