I caught him just in time

as this Masked Weaver was leaving to pick more grass for his nest. Sorry for all the bird posts, but that is all I have been doing these last few days. So fascinating to watch, and also practice using shutter speed. Should I have used a higher one here?

This is great- I'm no expert but the shutter speed seems perfect to me just by looking at what you caught on the wings. Awesome shot. And don't apologize- these birds are totally fascinating!

Outstanding. Love how you captured the wings.

[Rick]

Beautiful capture. Shutter speed seems to be good, as it stopped the action very well and it's very sharp.
