The Cape Weaver is a common and familiar weaver species endemic to southern Africa. Males are predominantly yellow with a variable black mask, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Endemic to southern Africa, particularly South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Found in diverse habitats from fynbos and forests to urban parks and gardens.
How to spot
Look for their bright yellow plumage and listen for their characteristic chattering calls. They often build their hanging nests near water or in tall trees within human-modified landscapes.
When to spot
Visible year-round. Breeding activity, when males are most vocal and active building their nests, occurs primarily during the summer months in the Southern Hemisphere (August-March).
