[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The former picture was of this bird. but I was not very happy with the result, I was happy that I caught this bird because it is not an original species, the Weaver is an intruder to our region and it is for about 1-2 years here in Israel.
So for my 'clean conscience' I went yeterday to get a better result or at least to try and get better result than my former set, I went early in the morning and the results were to my satisfaction.

This picture is FF without crop, I needed to get very low angle for this shot, so I lied down on the dirt and this is the result.
I had the TC on the camera when I took this picture but in retrospect I could take it off, it was a lesson for the next time...
I hope you will like this picture.

Full description you can find in my former post Vitelline Masked Weaver.

Hello Elroyie
A beautiful bird and a great shot. I'm always pleased when I get exactly the shot I want full-frame, no crop required. It's a beautiful shot and a great result with the TC, great detail and fantastic colours and I think perfectly framed too. I like the way his eyes and beak are in line with the lines created by the leaves. Great DOF too and good work on getting the right POV. Excellent work.
Regards,
Adrian

Hard to keep balance in that part of the world. But away from all that turmoil there are beautiful creatures like these!
