*Batis Nest*
Nature, in general, is an incredibly fascinating place and as one starts to learn and see the deeper aspects of the outdoors you quickly realize that the more you know the more you understand how little you are and how complex and vast the natural world is. The tiniest creatures can often be some of the most interesting and have the neatest of behaviors.
The Chin-spot Batis is no exception. The Batis which is a small bird common in Sub Saharan Africa builds a very intricate camouflaged nest using elements of its surroundings to hide it from would-be predators! In the photo notice the lichen that has been peeled of the surrounding branches to blend the nest perfectly into its surroundings. Lichen is common in Vachellia Woodlands.
