Cape Weaver (collecting nesting material) (Ploceus capenis)

This is quite a common bird locally. It is very gregarious and I sometimes think a bit psychotic it fights with any thing near it. It spends more time chasing birds off feeders than it does eating. The Cape Sparrow do get the better of it by swamping it in numbers.
