Rufous-tailed Weavers collecting twigs on ground, Serengeti, Tanzania
These are so quick that I just snapped away. Only at home did I discover how beautiful they are. They have very contrasty feathers and beautiful light blue eyes. They're like flying leopards, but less lazy.

The Rufous-tailed Weaver is a species of songbird found in East Africa. Despite its name, it is placed in the sparrow family. It is an endemic breeder in Tanzania, but vagrants occur in Kenya too.
