This week's motif is "GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY" - please post your photos here of wild birds captured in the act of courtship or mating.
Thanks to Canada-based Ed Matuod for suggesting this week's motif, aptly-timed as breeding season is currently starting in our islands.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pic doesn't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.
Romy

Hehe.... they have wings, they are mating, their name starts with a "b" and they were captured by a birdnut! This couple is 99% qualified as a motif shot, TyLyds! ;D Wrong forum. Canon 20D 105mm |

This thread is too X-rated for me, lol.
Incredible shots though! I have to turn my head when I see wild birds mating.
