Signs of Spring.
As we rapidly approach the end of the year...little signs of Spring are popping up everywhere...most notably are the Weavers.
Amongst the bare branches, nests are ferociously being built, broken down and rebuilt...

Can't wait for the rains actually... my garden desperately needs it
i love spring and summer ... excited for my SA peeps as spring/summer is coming but thinking about how miserable its going to be here when it gets cold. i hate cold weather.
Did you know that the male weaver bird will make 7 nests on average before his mate is satisfied? We lived in a house back in 2007 where this male weaver came and built a nest (in a tree over our pool) repeatedly, and she would just rip it to shreds, or look down her beak at it, and he'd go off elsewhere and try somewhere else. Of course as long as he wasn't maintaining it's structure, it ended up drying out and falling in our pool throughout the summer.
It's lovely to see all the signs of Spring all around. I also hear how much more one can hear all the birds sing. It's lovely
Weaver birds are just my best!
I am so ready for spring and SUMMER!
Oh I have to smile at this - this summer girl is hugely excited.
