[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These nests are built by birds of the weaver family of birds (Ploceidae). There are 85 species in this group alone. Some build intricate nests, some rough and some build communal nests. Other ways to identify the owners is the placement of the entrance, top, bottom, side etc. Eastern Africa has many different tree shapes, most of them quite beautiful. This picture was taken during the very short dusk.

HI Vic

Nice photo and composition. This has brought back very happy memories of my African safaris of years ago. Thanks for this. :-)

One memory I have is the impressive colourful birdlife. I like your note. TFS.

regards,
Martyn

Spot-on! Good composition, exposure, sharpness - with excellent depth of field. The saturation is rich. Very good photo.

I do like this one Vic .. perfectly exposed and tack sharp, the contrast of the soil against the blue sky festooned (like that Vic) with the white fluffy clouds are candy to the eyes .. excellent work
