Summary

[edit]
Description

One km long stretch on the edge of a lake that probably hosts around a 1000+ birds of all sizes and no raptors. 3 different weavers, their nests and partners. It was a wonderful lesson in birding for me. Females are tough to sight in all the three, more so in the Black Breasted and Streaked. I think all the females are polyandrous, and the males take care of the young.

I could observe the nest constructions (which are quite similar), habitat for nests (which are similar, but different in ways), and height of nests - which vary by species.

Streaked Weaver Nests in shrubs on the edge of the water bodies. Usually around 2-3 feet high from the ground. The birds also look for insects on the ground, probably the only ones I noticed y'day doing that. Others look for grains and insects on the shrubs and trees.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
