The sociable weavers' nest is a huge structure built on telephone poles, electricity pylons and trees in the area. I took this photo in the Northern Cape on our recent bike ride through Namibia and Botswana For more sky photos, click here.

Wow, that really is impressive!
ReplyDeleteThose are the biggest bird's nests I've ever seen...amazing! It looks like the pole is leaning with the weight of the nests.
ReplyDeleteI won't be commenting for most of December as we'll be out of town in a location without internet access. But I'll come home with lots of photos!
Janie, it is quite impressive, not so. However, many times you see nests which have collapsed and been abandoned lying on the ground.
ReplyDeleteHi Gaelyn;) yes, I liked the idea of the nests against vast the Kalahari sky!

Jeepers...and I thought I was tired. Imagine how pooped it must be to make this nest.
