Field Notes

Notes:

We saw many of these nests in Tanzania but I have no idea what species of weaver built them. There aren't enough pixels for me to zoom in on the birds though they appear to have yellow breasts & brown wings.

Thanks Shu! Muhammad, not sure how your website relates to this spotting which was in Tanzania?

I could be wrong, but that's my bestest guess with the photos
