Not looking me directly in the eyes, this male is very aware of my presence, and utters a series of grunting noises and associated movements. New to this species' behaviour, I can only guess the meaning of his gestures. They seem to be cautious, not agressive, but nevertheless a definite response to my presence.
To me, the display seems subtle, and although I'm always very exited about animal encounters, I'm not really impressed or intimidated.
The female does not heed my presence, but seems profoundly fascinated by the male's display. I could swear to see a glimpse, if not more, of admiration in those eyes. She was almost motionless the whole time, staring in what could be an intense sense of fascination. Or something else, I can only wonder.
He seems not to be moved by her gaze, but his eyes shift continuously to take quick but discrete looks. He's well aware she's looking. Seems like vanity to me, but again I'm projecting human emotions on monkeys, and I wonder whether I'm even remotely right.
Take a look at his chest. The red hourglass- or heart shaped patch is used for display, and is found at a peculiar location for a monkey. Usually, the swollen, bare buttocks are the primary agents for socio-sexual signalling. So how come this monkey is different?
To disturb or not to disturb ourselves further - that is the answer to life's infinite questions. (via Twitter twitter.com/kimfishercbt/status/719223024705265669)

This white-faced heron was waving its front foot for a prolonged period of time (maybe 15 seconds) on the surface of the wet sand. I assume this behaviour was supposed to attract pray.
