  1. Great shot. This little bird brings back great memories of having breakfast at the Heritance Kandalama Hotel, Sri Lanka watching one of these weaving a nest just a few feet away. Posted 10 years ago

The Common Tailorbird is a songbird found across tropical Asia. Popular for its nest made of leaves "sewn" together and immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his "Jungle Book", it is a common resident in urban gardens. Although shy birds that are usually hidden within vegetation, their loud calls are familiar and give away their presence.
