Ciak Tempua - Baya Weaver - Birding at Temerloh

This is one of three LIFER that I found on Sunday while birding at Temerloh.
I heard a lot of story about this great architect, but never seen it until Sunday.
Dull dark brownbird foraging at the small leafless tree. Only when I viewed at camera LCD later at home, than I realized that I found a Baya Weaver.
I did not see any male species or nest in this trip. The next visit is under planning.
