Golden-backed Weaver (Ploceus jacksoni) - 20240321-02

            Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.

Adult male is bright yellow with a glossy black head and rusty-orange underparts. Female is dullish yellow overall and can be difficult to distinguish from other female weavers. Look out for Weyns’s Weaver, which has a similar color pattern, but a black back in the male and pale eyes in both sexes. Inhabits wetland areas and builds an oval nest. Native to eastern Africa; established species in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.  (eBird)
-----------------
This male weaver is working on his nest.  Amazing to think that a bird can weave such a complex nest with just beak and claws.  There are other species that build hanging nests but the weavers are the specialsts.
