Due to the Commonwealth Games my college is now closed for the next 2 weeks. I cannot remember that I ever got a 15 day break in the middle of a teaching semester ever.
I thought I need to get out and click the palm tree that is full of weaver bird nests in my college premises. I was not sure if the nests would still be around after 15 days. The first time I noticed a tree full of weaver birds, I was inside a car on my trip to Bhimtal. Since then I wanted to photograph such a tree.
For the number of nests that are there it felt as if no one was home!
Mridula,
2nd picture is awesome.
Great shot, apartment block for weaver birds, I love it!
I’ve always been fascinated by nests of birds, and some like these are intricately beautiful. Lovely to catch up on your blog Mridula. Enjoy your break from routine and have a lovely trip to “Green” Rajasthan (as I’ve titled my latest post).
@ mridula awesome photography .very beautiful capture.
aha….great image..:)
a tree to marvel about.
The two nest composition, is lovely too, nice balance and light and a canvas filler of note…
Do you think these birds come at dusk ? In the backwater swamps in outskirts of Port of Spain, you’ll find barely a few birds in the trees during the day. Come dusk, they start to return, in droves, when all is said and done hundreds of birds are perched in every other tree.
wow! loved the 2nd pic.
Are you going to watch the CWG?
This is just too awesome!! so many, just on one tree!! are these the same ones which u clicked earlier,the ones that were green???
Thanks Celine, yes I am excited about Rajasthan.
Thanks Nisha.
Derek I thoroughly liked the idea ‘apartment block for weaver birds!’ Thank you.
Thank you Rajshree.
Thanks Tarun.
Yes Dave and I got to click it too.
Anton this was taken sometime before dusk. I understand what you are saying. There were actually a few birds around but too high up and pricey, not willing to pose for me.
Thanks Akhila.
Derek thank you.
Anu it is the same campus but a different tree, they finally left the old tree and flocked on this one en mass.
Ajeya, not sure but will try to watch something at least.
Wow! Loved the picture.. I’ve never seen a weaver bird nest at all.. and so many at one time is a big treat for me! Thank you!
Doli 😀 Good to have you on the blog after a short break. How have you been? Long time no new blog post from you.
Oh been so busy since I got back to US. Parents are here on a trip and hence the delay in posting. I’m reading books but not getting time to put up a post 😀
luved the caption 🙂 where are all the birds?
Sandeep, probably out eating 😀
