Mauritzfontein is home to more than just horses, its a safe haven to all manner of bird life. Including these Sociable Weavers, who are constantly chatting away as they build their enormous communal nests.

At Mauritzfontein you have a rare opportunity to photograph these little birds up close as they go about their business while sitting on paddock fences watching yearlings go by.
