Dikkop not quite relaxed

as some others were making a racket. The males have the noisiest sound and all start screeching at the same time. They stand up and just screech at each other while the females keep out of it. It is possibly to impress a female, because the males who have one start to chase them.

Great close-up. You can really see how they would blend right in from further away- until they started screeching at each other!
