2430BCLocality Pick n Pay parking lot Latitude, longitude -24.351183333333, 30.670777777778 [0 m accuracy] Date 2013/11/25 Notes Counted 2 then 12 nests over last 2 weeks when shopping. Today counted 58 new nests covering about 15 palm trees. Many weavers in attendance in these low palm trees. Promises to be a large colony. Hopefully shoppers tolerate the mess on their cars.
The nearby Wild-life estate LMW colony (Vm 4857 200m away) has not really happened this year. Maybe disturbance by predation has forced these birds to relocate - as nearby Hotel school colony (Vm 4856/7503) also restarted. Nest count 0 Nest site tree

2.) active colonies, many feeding young.
3.) few males seen.
4.) few damaged nests seen, indicating that the usual predators are absent - which is unusual at this stage of the season. Probably too many humans and activity - even for the cuckoos.
