This week's motif is "NESTING BIRDS" - please post your photos here of wild birds captured while in or near their nest.
(We'd like to stress that nesting birds are extremely sensitive, hence utmost care and least distubance should be observed in photographing them. Always keep your distance. )
Thanks again to Carmela (perubukid) for suggesting this week's motif.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pic doesn't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.
Romy

All excellent motif shots! Thanks Nestor for the photo of the OBS nest, it's my first time to see one. TeLyds, is that a Golden-bellied Flyeater? Whoops! Sorry, I forgot to caption. That, I think is an Olive backed sunbird. The beak made me conclude that it is not the GBF. Well, I can be wrong. Anyone?
