Description

Just a quick deviation from the lions and I hope you find the masked weaver (Ploceus velatus) or Maskenweber in German very colorful. The male builds the nest and entices the females to join him. She will inspect the nest and either rip it apart or just leave if she does not like the new home. The male is the one hanging underneath. I am glad I am not a masked weaver, LOL! This photo is also dedicated to a close friend Marie who is going through a tough time.

I plan one or two photos with close up detail of a lion.

Thank you for views and comments on The young ones

Great capture, and what a colorful pair. It would seem as though the home inspection is pretty intense, at a focal length of 85 mm you must of been pretty close. Great work!!

Really nice. I like the amount of detail available in this shot. And due to the fact that these bird are busy bodies and always fluttering around the nest it is remarkable how you captured both at the nest as this required split second timing. Well done oom Piet I believe one of your more challenging shots but great execution.

Ciao Piet !!!! I was making a walk in your gallery, caress some Lions ;o)))) And there are so many photographs I've missed during my removal, than now.... I could take my time, sit down with you, and talk about the wild life ! It would be great to do that !!!!! I love this photograph, so neat and to see these two beautiful birds so busy to made their nest. They are really incredible architects, look at this precision ! For shure with a so lovely nest ! It's funny to see the inspection of the female ;o))) He work so hard for her !!!! Have a wonderful and peaceful week-end my friend. Hugssssssssssssss Nathalie
