    You are very kind, hilarydougill, and most encouraging. I never cease to be amazed by nature, and watching these little creatures so busy weaving and displaying was a delight.

    You are so right, they are very clever indeed. I watched for ages as this little fellow stuck his beak in and out of holes, grabbing bits of leaves or grass and pulling them into the nest to weave with them. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
