Highlights of the day:
1) 1 male baya weaver pulling a blade of grass into his nest. There was another incomplete nest with fresh green leaves. Also 1 completed nest with brown leaves; size is bigger than the 2 green ones.
2) 1 female olive-backed sunbird gathering materials to build nest. Male was standing guard nearby.
Stars of the day were 2 purple swamphen - nice red bill and frontal shield, turquoise blue body and wings; moving on the hyacinth patch just metres from the water edge.
