GAPS -Masked Weaver takes a bath after busy day!
The Masked Weaver is an industrious fellow. Spends the day building the foundations to his new nest then stops for the day and relaxes in a nice bath. The finished article makes it all worthwhile.

Great shots, and when he's done there he goes back to darning socks.

Re: GAPS -Masked Weaver takes a bath after busy day!
Cheers y'all ... yeah, these guys are real worklers and fascinating to watch them weave a nest from scratch, constantly coming and going with fresh grass and tieing the pieces in.
