Mating dance

by the Pin tailed Whydah. Not the best shot, but I was caught by surprise. He hovers over her and keeps on bobbing up and down, flapping his wings with tail feathers flying. She seems to totally ignore this spectacle.

What a crazy capture, looks like no wings!

[Pam Knowler]

Oh my gracious! What fabulous timing you have to have caught this so perfectly! He looks as if he has been suspended in mid air above her and she certainly does seem to be completely unimpressed!
