~ When I first visited Meru National Park on 1 October, 2014, I spotted and photographed Ploceus bojeri, Golden Palm Weaver, in large bushes beside the rugged road leading down to the Murera Springs Eco Lodge. On this occasion we once again had parked midstream in a shallow brook, looking for any species living there. Ploceus bojeri was readily spotted due to its vivid, saturated hue plumage. We stayed several minutes, during which it was an enjoyable challenge to photograph the small bird flitting around in the shade of stream-side vegetation. Such is life at midday on a game drive!
