Love the bird but not sure about the blurring, looks too artificial - sorry.

No need to say sorry. If I was certain I liked the blurring I would not asked opinions. Thanks for your opinion. I agree with you.

I think this is a male Superb Fairy Wren sporting his blue tail. Doesn't have the brown eye lore of the female.
Beak is brownish not black as in typical males
It gets confusing as both male and female can have blue tails with the male a more intense colour than female so I believe
Only males have highly coloured head and upper body

Male or female, it's a terrific shot, Richard! The soft pale colored background is is great. It separates and makes this wren stand out so nicely.

Osprey In the Shade

I spotted this osprey @ Ft De Soto sitting on a very low branch inside a tree yesterday and it let me get very close to it.

Warning: long post!

Nesting process of a male Golden-backed weaver

1. Carefully selects a perfect location which is near to school, supermarket and transportation

2. Sets the foundation for a cozy home. He begins the intricate process of weaving the first string of its nest, which will serve as the cornerstone for a safe and snug abode.

3. Some more

4. Building the perfect fit.
He constructs the first framework of its nest, starting with a carefully woven ring. The size of the ring is a key indicator of the bird's desired home size and sets the stage for the rest of the nest-building process.

5.Quality assurance check!
He conducts strength tests on its nest anytime, ensuring that it's sturdy enough to withstand the weight of eggs and chicks.


6.Taking shape!
His nest is starting to take on its distinctive shape. It's amazing to see how the nest gradually transforms from a simple ring to a complex structure.


Above: It's hard to believe, but this complex nest is the result of just two hours of tireless work by the Asian golden-backed weaver.

7. Welcome to the city of weavers!

Outstanding!
