March 2025 - Masked Weaver Bird

About the Image(s)


I took this photo in 2013 when my wife and I went to Africa. The tour we took was not a
photo tour, just a regular tour through Lion World Tours. This masked weaver bird builds
an oblong shaped nest that hangs from a tree branch. The entrance to the nest is
through an opening in the bottom of the nest. This bird happened to land on the wood
rail just outside our bungalow.
RAW image processed in Photoshop. Darkened the rail, cropped, blurred background,
denoised, and sharpened.
Nikon D700
Sigma 150-500 mm lens
