Birds of East Africa
Baglafecht Weaver
I found this weaver in our garden at Greensteds School, in Nakuru Kenya. As it was quite tame I took some pictures of it. I have since discovered that they are quite common around school and a small colony roosts in the tree at the front of the house. I like the way the valley behind offers a completely blurred background and the mix of the colours of the bush and the bird complement each other well.
