Sunday, 10 October, 2010 (All day)
PHOWN (Photos of Weaver Nests)
For anyone in South Africa, or even Africa, southern Asia and the Indian ocean islands!
On the 10/10/2010 birders and the general public may attempt to count a total of at least 350 weaver bird nests. Participants can locate a weaver colony near them, or use low carbon means to travel to look for a colony, take a photo and count the nests in the colony. Any number of colonies may be counted and submitted.
To get involved, register as an observer and find a weaver nest or colony on 10/10/10. Visit the website for more information.
Submit the photo, locality and nest count on the day or within 3 days of the event. The number of nests will be summed for all colonies counted on 10/10/10.
