FASINATING NATURE -PART 2...

This female Purple rumped Sunbird had started building a nest hanging on to a dry leaf of a palm tree in my garden which I saw only around 8 a.m yesterday( 10/11/11). By 12.30 p.m it had progressed well and I shot these frames below ,but unfortunately the nest gave way and fell .On its next flight it found that the nest was not there and called the mate as well and hovered above .When I got the chance I quickly got the nest and tied the top with a twine thread and hung on the same leaf putting the thread through a strong leaf as well. But they never came.
