Title:

Roadside colony densities of weavers in southern Angola

Publication Year:
2014
Abstract:

Weavers have adapted to a variety of nesting sites, and are often found in high densities along roadsides (Macdonald 1990, Tarboton 2001, Oschadleus et al. 2003, Oschadleus & Franke 2006). On 21 June 2008 we surveyed the main road from Cahama to Santa Clara in southern Angola for roadside colony densities of three weaver species: Southern Masked-Weaver Ploceus velatus, White-browed Sparrow-Weaver Plocepasser mahali and Red-billed Buffalo-Weaver Bubalornis niger. This survey was undertaken on the return trip of cataloging the Lubango Bird Skin Collection (Mills et al. 2010).
