73918033/11/20130SMW nests in tall reeds in mixed colony with Thickbill & Red Bishop see Sept entries. Many new and old nests together scattered in this large reedbed. Its early season but this bird was fully moulted. Seems these birds in this reedbed location are a couple of weeks behind the Jhb gardens & Lanseria birds as most have just started to build. Many old Cape Weaver nests seen as well but no birds observed - already reported.
