This is a tree outside the office of the Zululand Yacht Club in Richard's Bay, South Africa. Weaver Birds make their nests in the tree and it was a scene of frantic activity during the entire month we were there....As we understand it, the males build the nests. If the nest is not to the females satisfaction, the female pulls it down and the entire process starts over. From one of the discarded nests, photographed where it fell in the parking lot, you can see the carefully woven strands that seemed impressive to us, even if they did not meet the female's high standards.
