This is where they live.

They are all over the show, some high up and some low down. This is only a small area that I zoomed in to. The dam has run dry, but it does not seem to bother them. In the middle a Weaver decided that he wants to live there too. Maybe now you can see how tricky it is to get a good shot of the Red Bishops. They just flit around all the time and seldom sit still.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Wow, look at them all. Sweet capture.

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely capture ...

[bruni]

Nice overall picture. interesting the weaver would build his nest and not be bothered by the coming and goings of the red bishops.

[Jacqueline]

Great shot I never realized that they build their nests so low

[Valerie Chesney]

So delightful..

[tony gig]

Lovely nature shot...fav

[Lesley]

Wow, what a great find...and shot!

[Margaret Brown]

Super shot and your zoom did a really good job of the photos you have posted.

[katy]

What an exceptional wide angle shot! It really lillustrates the difficulty you must have had getting such great clear close up shot before!

[Pyrrhula]

Reeds we`ve plenty. Wish we had those beautiful birds too.

[sarah]

Wow so awesome

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- can you imagine if this shot was made into a jigsaw puzzle?! It's so fun to see all their pops of color. Great shot!

[Islandgirl]

Well done!

[Faye Turner]

Wonderful capture

[Shutterbug]

These are like our red wing blackbirds only way more vibrant. They live on similar grasses and the males get a bright red edge on their wings during breeding season.

[Shirley]

Hard to focus here.....a great capture!

[Taffy]

So fun how they pop among the grasses.

[Rick]

Cool capture.

@jacqbb Only the red bishops Jacqueline, the weavers normally all hang in trees. I have never seen a weaver nest in here before ;-)

[Lois]

Love seeing the big picture of where they live!
