Perfect Symmetry

View On Black

 

Now this was a delight. Only a day after witnessing a pair of Southerns I was blessed with encountering a pair of Migrant Hawkers throwing some shapes in the reeds. Once again they were too busy to be bothered by me and I managed to rattle off a few shots of which this is my personal favourite.

 

The male is the one at the top and the female is the one at the bottom who's head is partly obscured by the tail of the male. The tail of the female is completely obscured. When you consider the male is the only one with a purchase on the reeds he certainly has some strength...
