801, Holub's Golden Weaver Ploceus xanthops (see species summary here)Record status ACCEPTED Vm 7432 [on-line data upload (2013-11-14): 55943] Species Golden Weaver Observer(s) Zaloumis, Alex Country, town, locus South Africa, Mpumalanga, White River,
2531ACLocality Upper Bayhill Drive, White River Latitude, longitude -25.282002777778, 31.000763888889 [0 m accuracy] Date 2013/11/10 Notes 3 nests in tree, another 5 accross stream in reedbeds overhanging water.
1. Golden weavers definitely recondition existing nests. Examined a number of 'old' nests to check on inner lining - green repairs/patches found on many.
2. Seems that there are 'pairs' of golden weavers every 20 to 40m along these reedbeds. Each pair has a couple of nests - ie there are small clusters of nests - not colonies. Final count along this 1km of reedbed and stream reached over 70 plus- with some looking very old. Some had faeces. Nest count 0 Nest site tree
