Dear members and bird watchers
By the help of this forum I got the bird in picture #1 identified as a juvenile Rüppell's weaver. Picture taken in the Goda Mountains
I was in Assamo (Picture 2-5) and the area was full of Rüppell's weavers building nest so I just assume this is females. One male was building a nest and every now and then the bird got down to a tree to sit next to a female or if it was a juvenile before continuing with the nest
VIDEO
Information about the Rüppell's weaver on the internet is really not much. Anyone know how to tell the difference between the juvenile and the female?
And I have two bird books, the Svensson and the A Field Guide to the Birds of Thailand and South East Asia by Craig Robson. Both very good, anyone that can recommend a book about African birds with the differences explained?
Kind regards
