Observation details
Three birds on Middle Causeway in one spot, two males and one female. One male was trying to initiate the mating ritual and there was some response from the female as they marched together and sang to each other but there was no happy ending. The amorous male chased off the other male when it tried to get close to the pair. Then they began harvesting some of the insect hatch in the grass. They never went into the water. Two other females were seen further along the causeway more towards the banana.
