Baya Weaver with nesting material

I have been following the progress of Baya Weaver nesting here in Raub, but never see the bird actually bring the nesting material to the nest. When Yien visited the grassland at 2.00pm, I told him that we might no see the bird in this very not afternoon. But he bring so much luck, for the male Weaver made more than ten trip to the nest with long lalang leaf (Imperata cylindrica). Amazing!.
