Thanks for submitting PHOWN (Photos of Weaver Nests) records!
With over 1000 records in the first year (and a bit), the project is going well.
The summaries and navigation on the PHOWN web site has improved, so take a look at http://weavers.adu.org.za/phown.php if you have not visited recently.

New records are most welcome (and needed - there are not too many records for any species!) , but it would be really great if you could also send regular repeats of a colony near you. It is fun seeing how the size of a weaver colony changes, and even if it doesn't change, we would like to know this and it is still fun watching the activities at a breeding colony.

Read more about setting up a gazetteer for Repeats at the latest news item at http://weavers.adu.org.za (or at this permanent link: http://weavers.adu.org.za/newstable.php?id=135). Repeats are easier to submit than new colonies if you use the gazetteer function. The news item also shows an example of a colony and how its size has changed over the last year.

How often should you record repeat counts of a colony? This is entirely up to you. You can submit repeats on a daily, weekly, monthly or random basis. If you submit repeats regularly but skip some, that does not matter - simply continue when you can.
