A Village Weaver leaving the nest. The sky is perfectly blue, and you can see the bright yellow and black Village Weaver dropping out of its nest, a hanging basket with a bottom entrance. Pure genius how they build these beautiful nests.

Incredible how these geniuses build their nests, with the entrance always at the bottom. The bird is known under various names, like #VillageWeaver #BlackHeadedWeaver or #SpottedBackedWeaver.
The common Latin name is simply #PloceusCucullatus
