Some New Companions

I were not alone making the best out of the living space.

What has become of my security light! Just before wiring is completed & without the glass shade in place, some little birds worked faster than me!













These are the new residents. It was simply amusing to watch them shuttling back and forth picking straws and beat me to it. Accept them as my new companions, what else can I do?













Yes, I have a 'birdie' tap to match. How about that?



















Entrance to their 'apartment'




















At the back yard, a new colony of weaver birds chose to be neighbours too. 3 nests are getting into shape.



















The greenish tint shows fresh straws being used.



















Viewing them from the living room and...



















... through the bath window too.



















The two higher nests are well camouflage by the foliage. Oops.. the window pane needs cleaning.



















While a full view to the third nest.



















So close to view, I watch their building progress daily and learn a bit more about their behavior. Their preferred nesting spots are over water providing security to safeguard their young.
