What a lovely shot. The eye is so crisp. I have never seen a nest like that. Do you know what kind of bird it is?

[Louise]

Stunning! That red eye is so captivating! fav!

[Sylvia du Toit]

These birds are quite common in South Africa. In Afrikaans you call it a "VINK" will search the English name for it. The male builds the nest and the female takes it apart if she does not like it...Woman!

@sdutoit Thank you for the update. lol

[Leana Niemand]

A great capture.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Now we learn. According to my book this is a Southern masked weaver. The male does have more than one wife and it is the male who takes the nest apart if she is not interested!

Great capture of the weaver. Hi Sylvia and welcome to 365. You'll find there are quite a number of South Africans here ;)

Gillian Thanks for the welcome. I really enjoy seeing photos where other people live and what they see and capturing it in photo's, sharing it with us.
