Male Weaver initially build the partially complete nest to attract female.
"Once a female chooses to mate with him, he might finish the nest. But often, the female completes the nest. When the female lays and is preoccupied with incubating the eggs, the male abandons her and immediately uses his other half-finished nests to woo a new female" (from: naturia.per.sg)

The red arrow is where the nest located, and I position my camera gear across the road, about 15 meters away. I hide behind the tall grass and control the camera by Phottix Cleon Wireless Remote.
