This is new! A kind of symbiosis between weavers and falcons :shock: The falcons are not that much bigger than the weavers and obviously the nests fit or maybe they have a combi lol

Mostly one sees pygmy falcons alone or in couple. So many together is strange, but has a sense :yes:

Nature never stops to surprise me \O

:ty: Klippie!

I have posted it with the Pygmy Falcon in the bird book and also in "Bird of the Month" \O
