that there are only 24 hrs between these shots. The poor Weaver is flying to and fro, alternating between picking grass and weaving his home. In the first shot he still has a blade of grass in his beak.
this is wonderful to see. great capture of the before and after, Diana. the nest isn't finished obviously but it already looks solid and so neat! @louannwarren lou ann, here in Toronto, we say "it's probably because the birds aren't unionized!" :-D
@salza Not only that Sally, she rips it apart. I must say that this is a rather unusual looking one. The other nests are all built in a different style ;-)
@Weezilou Haha! They have not started on the roof...yet! Have not given us a new start date after bidding on dry rot but it will be done this summer! :)
@gardenfolk@Weezilou Thanks so much! We have hundreds here on the estate. It take them max 3 days the complete the outside. Then the female finds the padding for the inside. I used to have a tree full of nests, until Minky came along and chased them to the neighbours. They now build in thorn trees and are very safe ;-)
