trees surrounding a Radio tower mast site. Many small, similar colonies found in this area. seems masked weavers prefer small colonies located near seasonal water - local rains have been late this
year so maybe one of the reasons for new Sthn masked weaver nests only being built now. Nests - 26 7502 803 17/11/2013 3 Vm 5011/5615 revisited. 3 new, single nests in different trees surrounding the tower
