Observation details
Pair bonding, courtship, display, copulation and nest building activities were going on among different pairs. Here, in the video recording one can see that a female is tending at the selected nesting site ... ... a male arrives with some more nest material ... and immediately transfers it to the female, who proceeds to place it properly, into the nest ... then ... they engage in some courtship activity and the male mounts the female ... ... but this does not culminate into copulation ... as she nudges him off ... ... probably not having reached full maturity ... _____________________ Keoladeo National Park Bharatpur Rajasthan India 11 March 2024
