The southern masked weaver, also known as Ploceus velatus, is a fascinating bird species found in various locations across Africa. From Otjinene in Namibia to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kruger National Park in South Africa, these birds showcase their incredible nest-building skills. One can witness the impressive sight of a male southern masked weaver constructing its intricate nest hanging from a tree branch. These nests are meticulously woven using grass and other plant materials, displaying the bird's remarkable craftsmanship. In Tanzania's Mikumi National Park, another example of this skilled builder can be observed. The masked weaver diligently constructs its nest amidst the African wilderness. The male they are particularly striking with their vibrant plumage. Their yellow feathers contrast beautifully against their black masks, making them an eye-catching sight within the natural landscapes of South Africa's national parks. But it is not just the males that captivate our attention; even female southern masked-weavers have their own unique charm. One photograph captures a female drinking from a tap in Namibia – showcasing how adaptable these birds can be to different environments. Even beyond national parks and wildlife reserves, these birds make appearances throughout South Africa. In the Drakensberg Mountains or any other location across this diverse country, one might catch glimpses of these beautiful creatures going about their daily lives.
