Hi Annick,

I love the look on this Weaver's face! Perhaps he is upset by that big leaf on his nest?? Beautiful colors - that bird is exquisite. Superb details of the not so neat nest. The Weaver is magnificent - sharp details of the expressive face and lovely plummage.

The weavers are just so amazing. It must be an amazing amount of energy that these little birds expend to build such a nest. The color and sharpness are wonderful and also the separation of the subject from the OOF background.

Annick,

What a lovely weaver bird ! In India, I had found it difficult to approach and these birds look yellowish in India. I am yet to try a hide. Great picture and note.

Hi Annick
This is a stunning photo - composition, detail, and light are all fantastic. If I am not mistaken I think this is the bird that nests outside the shop at Letaba - I tried unsuccessfully to capture it in December but it would not come near the nest while I was there.

Hi Annick.
What a cute birdy you have captured. Its pose and glance are amazing as well as whole scene. I like all component of the photo art: excellent composition, precise DOF (all main object are crisp sharp and in focus and BG is fine in its blurriness and colourfulness), great details of the bird and nest, amazing colours. Bravo and TFS.

Oh Annick - this is cute. I love how you've caught him with his head stretched up like that - he's not too sure about you and the camera!!
Very well done - it's good to see all these photos in your theme together

Hi Annick. For a Red-headed Weaver it sure looks like he has an orange head. To add to that a beautiful orange beak to go with it. A pleasure to see. TFS Trevor
