Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.

Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.

I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.

    Nice link and pic! I spent a while looking at nest photos after figuring out what exactly it was. I was expecting a more peculiar looking bird, but they look like a regular sparrow type bird.

    It was a good point in your article about how heavy that must be when it gets soaking wet and how utility poles have to be designed with that in mind there!
