Weaver Baya

I have been facinated by the Baya, what perfect engineering, what amazing designs....and all for procreation..!!!!

Stumbled upon a whole colony of Baya on a Khajur with nests in varying degrees of preperation.

CANON 50D + EF 300 F4 IS at f5.6, 1/2000, ISO 400

Good shot, I would prefer the highlights to be toned down a bit. The yellow seems jarring due to the harsh lighting conditions.

I agree that the yellows have to be toned down. Great composition though, and captured at the right moment. Did you take any shots with multiple nests and birds? Eager to see them if you did.

Agree about the highlights. Is this a crop? If not I would try to get rid of the highlights on the right.

Such creativity in nature.Lovely perch. Agree with the comments.

Dipankar,
A 1.4x TC would give you more reach. The highlights has been pointed out. The perch has come out nicely. If this is near your place, then I would urge you to go to this place frequently. Look forward to more.

Cheers,

Yes, I would be eager to check out the progress of the colony over the next few months...will keep you guys posted.
