Southern Masked Weaver, Ploceus velatus, male with a damselfly at Marievale Nature Reserve, Gauteng, South Africa. (45417471624)

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: While this weaver is primarily a seed eater, birds are often pretty catholic in their diet. This one was hovering much like a Cape Wagtail often does, and catching insects flying over the water. I wonder if this was learned behaviour. It was doing quite agile flying for a weaver!.
