Some interesting weaver shots

During the mating season, the bishop wears an attractive yellow mantle.

It is early spring season here now, and a lot of mating and nesting is in progress. One thing that I have noticed, is that the bigger birds start nesting during the last two weeks of winter, and the smaller birds start nesting during the first weeks of spring. This stands to reason, as the bigger birds youngsters need a longer period of growth, to enable them to cope with the next winter season. The smaller birds don't have that problem, as their young mature much faster.
In any case I have a variety of the birds in the weaver families to share with you here.

Just a lovely shot of him between the flowers.
