A Common Tailorbird foraging for the last meal of the day

An interesting common neighbourhood bird with a loud and audible call. These birds are sighted making bushes in the small bushes around my place. This is the nesting season and hence they could be seen collecting nesting materials and foraging many times. The birds nest is quite small, possibly cup shaped - made up of leaves sewn together with thorns from which the bird derives its name.

 

This was shot in a forest in Goa, where a small 10 sq m area had lots of small bird activity. We stopped for 30 mins and sighted around 4-5 Tailorbirds in one tree - all looked like adults. They were busy hunting insects that were flying around. It was just around sunset, so guess it was the last meal of the day.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
