Baya Weaver and Nest
Category: Birds 'n Animals

I had been taking regular drives on Mysore road last month and had ample time for pit stops. Water spots are the usual pit stop points giving me a chance to chase avian life. It is in one of those trips that I found a colony of Baya Weavers:

The colony had many of these birds and intricately carved nests hanging over a stream, from tree branches on both sides of the stream. I did visit the place a couple of times more, until the nests were abandoned.

This particular pic comes from the Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L, handheld in Manual mode. I had set a f/6.3 aperture and a 1/640 shutter with Auto-ISO and camera using ISO-200.

Also ... wishing everybody a sparkling Diwali!

This is a wonderful capture. I also once tried to capture them but they were too fast.... just flew away. :)

It's a wonderful find. I've always wanted to see a weaver bird. The light on the bird and its nest is beautiful!

I love how those crisp foreground colours match the background greens and oranges =)

Another astonishing image - the baya has a goats beard, a lions mane & a sparrows body and is so unique & colorful. Great shot
