[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Masked Weaver (Female) - Ploceus Velatus. Common resident. Its breeding season and the males look different, they now have deep yellow coloring and a black mask. Will post the male pic next.

Got this shot in the garden. There are about 4 nests. The males have successfully attracted these females to breed in their nest. A very busy housing complex.

HI Paul, I have always loved these birds since I saw Gerhard post one early this year. The male has built such a wonderful nest for his lady.
And you show us another well-made nest too. She looks so good "upside down" and is very happy with her new home. Well captured, thank you
