This Yellow Weaver colony, consisting of many clusters of nests, stretching up the estuary mouth for more than 2kms - past the main bridge. Some times on both sides of the river. Impossible to count nests with any reasonable accuracy as so many are hidden by dense reed beds which are frequented by hippo & crocs. Previous records have shown that there are permanent resident Yellow Weavers in this area. The seasonal surge in nests and birds is from 'migrants'. Nest count 0 Nest site reed
