NotesA bronze Manniken seemed to be inspecting the xanthops nest to occupy it, it actually was in the nest for a while too, but after observing it for a while I noticed that it was picking the dried seeds off the nest, it got chased away afterwards when the owner came back . The weaver seemed to be getting the already used nest ready again for another hatch as it brought it new nesting matter . There were 5 nest of which at least 2 were occupied .
