Observation details

Same pair as yesterday - one missing a foot. Display behaviour that I'm interpreting as a breeding display - both birds sing or call to each other, then one bird slowly walks 2 or 3 circles around the other, finally bringing faces close together before the circling bird walks off. They performed this display yesterday also.
