Baya weaver nest is built in trees near fresh water and open ground with plenty of nesting material, long grass at this durian orchard.
It hangs from a far end of a branch, probably to evade the predator such as snakes and squirl , but that exposes them to the biggest predator of all - HUMAN!
I took this picture with the Handphone camera on April 24. When I visited that site again last weekend, all the nest was gone.

how many eggs does the baya weaver usually hatch? and is the bird population dwindling?

Wow, what a great nest. The sky is always pretty where you are, even during moonsoon season.

Amazing to see how the Baya Weaver weaves its nest. How much damage the the bird population when human steal their nest. Have they been able to rebuild, fast enough?
This have been going on for years.
I found and old articles from Star On-line in 2003, about the same predicament.
Although the bird are not threatened and in "Least Concern (LC)" at an IUCN category, we should not harm the birds and chicks.
Great photos but a sad story. Loved the sequence in your other blog too. Thanks for visiting my site.
Very interesting place to visit and lots of fruits to eat too, I presume.
My heart goes out to the first one, great composition, very nice colors too!!
Have a great SWF
