Subject: What's in a name? Compact Weaver

Hi All,

I wonder if someone can shed some light on the naming of Compact Weaver for me.

I consider it a fairly 'compact' bird but I would imagine that the species is so named for its compact nest, which is smooth and finely woven - unlike many other weavers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers for now,
Adam
