Letaba sighting! They are sooooooo colourful!

This juvenile flew into a window at the lodge and stunned itself. I managed to get some nice shots while it was sitting around

Great pics Bobbi & Joshilewis.

Some more pics of a Juv Red-headed Weaver seen from Ngwenya Lodge in May this year.

We saw some at Mingerhout Dam in March, but my camera had decided to stop working.
Would love to have a photie, so will look out for them in Lebaba in September!!
Thanks guys for sharing all those wonderful photos!!

Hi All,

I was just wondering why it is so difficult to find and photograph this species in the park. Its a very easy bird to identify, but I haven't seen one in 6 or 7 years in the park.

These pics were taken in Jan 2004 in the olifants camp. They were nesting over the grass island near the petrol station.





Anyone seen any nesting sites recently ?

thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil

This one is busy building his nest at Afsaal. They are breading there every year.

Thanks LL - that's good info re Afsaal . I have seen them at the deck at L sabie and at Shingwedzi near the restaurant , but can't think of many other locations where you have a reliable chance of spotting them .

Thank you everyone for sharing your awesome pics ... striking colors this little bird has.
