Baya Weaver Nest - Sarang Ciak Tempua


Click the above LOGO for more participation from all over the world.

I found this still incomplete Baya Weaver nest just out side the Raub's Golf course one Sunday evening.
I waited for a half and hour for the birds, but non came in to the nest. It start to rain and I have to find it the next time.
