Description:

Description: It is the only species assigned to the monotypic genus Philetairus. Sociable weavers are found in South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, but their range is centered within the Northern Cape. They build large compound community nests, perhaps the most spectacular structure built by any bird. Date: Taken on 30 April 2017, 11:33.
