Media notes
Large numbers in a colony nest-building (many 100s of birds)
Observation details
Very large colony site in low trees along the road at -30.350322, 20.580551. Bustling and active with nest building behaviour and vocalisations. Estimates of birds visible made in 10s and 50s. Count is likely an underestimate as no doubt many birds hidden from view. Perhaps this colony is yet another sign of birds responding to recent rains in the area.
