Apparent courtship display involving a high-kicking dance and tossing beakfuls of dead vegetation (potential nesting material?)into the air. This continued for some time - perhaps 20 minutes - during which time the female totally ignored the performance. I hope he was ultimately successful, because they are seriously threatened. |
