History of repeat colony counts
Note: repeats from the same day are not shown.vm Species code Date Nests Notes 7457 797 8/9/2013 0 One new green nest observed. These are either Village or Southern Masked Weavers, not Lesser. No birds seen for ID. Spent over an hour in hide. Other photographer showed me pics of a Village in reedbeds next to hide - taken earlier that day. nests look like Southern Masked - shape, position in tree and out-of season building more indicative of SMW in this area. 7476 797 8/11/2013 0 1. last visited site 2013-9-8 - no activity. No report??
2. 4 different species nesting, maybe 5.
Village, Lesser & Southern Masked, Holub's Golden & maybe Thick-bill. (thick-bill pic taken this morning by another photographer shown to me)
3. mixed colony, village & lesser intermingled.
4. Holub's Golden nests seen/ID and female photographed.
