vm	Species code	Date	Nests	Notes
2490	779	21/6/2012	8	8 red billed buffalo weavers in fever tree at service area of Satara camp. 2 birds sighted on left nest - not in photograph. Seems that some birds do not 'migrate' during the winter - a pair seem to remain - maybe the original paired parents? The new birds/yearlings might leave to flock, mix and select mates elsewhere. Then return to set up their own colonies.
2958	779	18/9/2012	10	repeat visit to restaurant site date; 18 Sept 2012; 10 nests (was 8 on 21/6/2012); 4 or 5 adults and 2 lighter, probably juveniles, feeding in garden and from tables.
6486	779	20/7/2013	5	Reception colony - 2958 revisited comments: raining - no birds in tree but two at restuarant nearby nests: 5 nest colonies/clusters
