Weaver Bird
If you look closely at the pictures, you will see that the weaver bird is building a nest. The strands of twine of the nest can be seen. In the last photo you can see in its beak, the twine or strand of leaf used to weave the nest. Actually it is threading the strands. That's what the photos show. I zoomed and took the photo. The branches and other weaver bird nest were hanging inside a well. So while taking the photos I could not see or realise that the bird was building a nest. After loading the pictures in my laptop, it was clearly visible. I was so happy. I sharing it here.









This is a finished nest with a weaver bird.




The tree is Pithecellobium dulce (Madras Thorn Plant). I love its fruit. It bears fruit only during the month of April and May, that is summer.

 

Thank you 12ss12 for sharing your great pictures! What an amazing little bird and so talented to do all that weaving!
Nature is amazing if we all just take time to stop and look around!

 

Lovely pictures!

Nature's amazing, we just have to stop and open our eyes.

 

The wild animal that interests me the most is the lion...
I once saw a lion in a circus.. It was incredibly beautiful..

 

Wow what a beautiful lion. I tend to love all animals but Wolves, Owls. and Hummingbirds are a few of my favorites

 

It's amazing how small hummingbirds are.

 

I have a feeder right outside my window and they are soooo fun to watch. Some sit and drink, some just float there, and some come close to the window and go up and down looking in like little peeping toms! Thanks for the amazing, beautiful picture. I am a Tech numpty, so I can't post pics but I love looking at others!

 

There are a lot of butterflies in my garden .
My neighbour cat is trying to catch them. I am afraid she eat one.
This is the first week there are so many of them

 

Poor little butterfly...

Enk,

Is the flower in the photo lilac?
Where I live, you can smell the lilac flowers blooming in the spring from everywhere.

 

No it isn't. It's a butterflybush

Lilac smells delicious but I don't have them in my garden

 

Butterfy is beautiful enk !

I don't have humming bird picture peony. But have sunbird pictures. Next post I will share it. It is very difficult to photo shoot hymming bird. They keep on fluttering and are very small. Sunbirds also pose the same problem. I nearly spent more than half an hour took get one good picture of sunbird on a flower.

I have photoa of lions too. I took them once when I went ttot Vandalur Zoo Lion Safari. If possible I will try to loacte them and post it here.

That's really superb sanddollar. Once upon a time I wanted to do it and do bird watch. But I never could do it. So very envious of you.

 

Yes I am very lucky to have hummingbirds visiting my yard where I am able to see them
...they are sooo tiny, cute and very fast!
It seems that both you and your mom are great photographers the pictures and thanks for sharing!

 

Thank you for the beautiful butterfly images.

So I like lambs...

 

Oh, my gosh! What a feast for the eyes and heart. Thank you all for sharing such amazing photos. So much talent and wonderful captures of nature in all its myriad forms!

 

@peony , OMG that is a face you could fall in love with! What a sweetie...does it have a name?!
Again thank you everybody who takes the time to share your pictures with us here in the forum! I just them!

Nearly 7 years back.

 

Thanks for the lion photos.

Hi sanddollar

Unfortunately, that's not my lamb. But I gave her a name: Gigi



The pink lily scent is amazing.

 

Yes Please, I'll take one to go!

 

These are Mangrove forest at Pitchavaram, Tamilnadu, India. Photos are by me. Instead of roads we have canals (waterways) bounded by trees. It was quite a different exprience travelling inside it in a boat. So calm. No other living being in sight except a stray bird and I saw a crab. Just us, water and the mangrove trees.

The cannals were just like streets, junctions etc.




This how we enter the cannals




and from then on ....



















A crab
