Media notes
Courtship between male and female. Courtship ceremonies, male to the right, female to the left. I managed to take about 20 pictures of what was going on, including copulation. In this group there was one female and two competing males. Note the raised white crests which can only be seen in courtship. Many other individuals of the species were present. The location was the mixed heronry in the park of Royal Torarica Hotel, better observed from outside the hotel compound. Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
