Nest building

This masked weaver was on the go the whole day building his new home.

Stunning plumage and eye! Excellent sharpness. A little snug up top, and I sure wish there wasn't any nest material in front of the bird (especially the stuff obstructing the head).

Stuart you captured some excellent detail and colors such a beautiful bird I wish it was in the total clear.

Lovely light, colours and sharpness, Stuart. Good use of DOF. Agree with Doug re more room and nesting material but this is otherwise a very nice image.

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. Much appreciated.
