I first saw the Southern Masked Weaver building his nest on Saturday 10 August 2013. I took the above photo’s the next morning, Sunday  11 August 2013.  He was making good progress until the Gale Force Wind blew his nest away….

When I went outside on Monday morning his nest was gone. I have not spotted him in our garden again…. I was so looking forward to many more photo’s….

Just look who is building his nest in our Garden….

I just hope his “wife” approves his building. Then if I am lucky hopefully I’ll have the honor of capturing some little ones….. On this weeks agenda I need to get the new members of the garden something to bath in and also something drink water out of….

Now I really need to get stuck in my garden. Yesterday my husband organised someone to take down the pool and try to tidy the garden a bit.  With the pool out of the picture and the grass non existing I have to come up with a plan. I am going to redesign my garden  with some ideas I got at the Aspidistra Nursery….. So looking forward to this. But first I have a very busy two months ahead of me…..
