The start point of a perfect nest
在双溪布洛义务讲解三年了,
Outside of SBWR, there are some wasteland which supports an enormous variety of wild life. Baya weaver(Ploceus philippinus) is one of the clever birds who can build the most sophisticated and beautiful nest.
Baya weavers use fresh green long grass leaves to build their nest and most of the work is done by the male. The new nest is green color and the old one yellow.
However, the nest doesn't mean the success of reproduction, In the past one month, Baya weaver birds created and tried to create at least six nests near the roadside and now only two nests are hanging there. One nest stopped at the early stage, three nests disappeared.
No Baya weaver was spotted at this small area in yesterday afternoon.

Weaver birds @ Tampines Eco Green淡濱尼生态公园织布鸟

Singapore is a small red dot but a large city as any others in the world. It will take you more than one hour to travel from west to east.
Tampines Eco Green is a very nice place and just too far away from our place.
We spotted Asian golden weavers (Ploceus hypoxanthus) building the nests. Later, we also spotted the nest of Baya weaver  (Ploceus philippinus) but not the birds.
织布鸟是一类编织能力非凡的雀鸟。淡滨尼生态公园可以看到两种织布鸟:金色织布鸟和黄胸织布鸟。金色织布鸟利用纵横交错的树枝为支撑点,编织球状的鸟窝;而黄胸织布鸟技高一筹,用长草编织精致鸟窝悬挂于树枝上,开口向下以减少捕食者攻击的威胁。
