Here's another ancient picture from when I studied Baya Weavers for my MSc back in 2012. This male was being quite indecisive about which blade of grass he wanted to pick for his nest. He kept hovering in this spot for close to a minute, allowing me to get a volley of shots off.

Forgive the massive oversatruration - I definitely went overboard with it back then.

An ancient picture from when I studied Baya Weavers for my MSc. During mating season, males build nests & flocks of females visit colonies to select mates based on the quality of their nests. This nest was already taken by a female and I happened to get a nice in-flight shot of the male as he was approaching.

Shooting with the fully manual 400mm with no AF or VR is crazy difficult.
