  4. Wow, too Good. Well focused and great background. Posted 8 years ago
  5. Fantastic image. We have very similar birds in Africa (Southern Black Masked Weaver) that almost looks exactly the same as this guy. The Masked Weaver is also yellow / golden with a black face, but has a RED eye ... the only difference I can see. Well done, great shot. Posted 8 years ago

The Baya Weaver is a weaverbird found across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Flocks of these birds are found in grasslands, cultivated areas, scrub and secondary growth and they are best known for their hanging retort shaped nests woven from leaves. These nest colonies are usually found on thorny trees or palm fronds and the nests are often built near water or hanging over water where predators cannot reach easily.
