Beautiful. Both nest and bird are very sharp and clear. I like the interaction presented by the bird looking towards the camera with the next piece for the nest in his bill ;-))

Ben, Striking photo of this Masked Weaver busy with the task at hand. You've combined several elements to give this one great impact on the viewer. There's no question who the actor is here! You've captured the birds eye, turned to the lens in an almost questioning manner..the sprig..the hanging position..& more..Like it very much!!

Recuerdo cuando era pequeño, en los documentales sobre Africa ver estas maravillosas aves.
Excelente captura Ben, por su composicion, por la oportunidad del disparo construyendo el nido, por su claridad y colorido.

I remember when he was child, in the documentary ones of TV on Africa to see these wonderful birds.
Excellent capture Ben, by its composition, the opportunity of the shot constructing the nest, by its colorful and sharpness.

Very well captured. Well done for waiting until its head was at the perfect angle. Maybe cropping at the right a little more would make it even better. I'm not sure. A fantastic shot anyways!

Ben, not fair I have two of these critters currently in my garden nesting. I am battling for two week to get this result. It's perfect. I, however will stop and look for something else to capture. Brilliant work Ben. Thanx for sharing. Bring on the action shots, please.

I have been trying to get one of these for a couple of weeks. Every time I turn my back he starts to build. He is looking at you as if you are stealing his plans (or his females). Very nice capture against the blue sky. I can't way for our skies to turn cloudy and for some rain to fall. Groetnis
