Sitting pretty!

 This Sunbird nest is made up of leaves, twigs and even a piece of (Prop)"erty" news, 

all held together with grass and cobwebs!

The photo above was taken with the SX130.

I went back later with the SX40 to take the photo below.

It shows that the lining of the nest is silky and shiny. I wonder if it is plant material?

Although the sun was quite harsh, I am pleased with the golden glow of photos.
