Bibliographical reference: I.H.N. Evans, 'The Years Behind Me' p. 81. Relevant text reads "In a park, I think it was at East London, there was a small lake with an island in it and from a bush on the latter depended great numbers of weaver-bird nests - a regular colony - with their more or less globular nest portions and their curious hanging, tubular entrances."
