7430	797	10/11/2013	47	Brand new, green nests. Seems that the old established fever tree colony has fragmented due to heavy predation and sought refuge in the reed beds. Females still lining the nests with reed tufts but most males sitting on sentry duty waiting for mates.

Best: Village Weaver - male displaying at nest
