Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 14

in Feathered Friends4 years ago

I am happy to open round 14 of Show Me A Photo Contest in Feathered Friends Community.

Spring is the season of love and birds in the Northern hemisphere have their mating season now and this is the theme proposed by @oks2crypto

MATING BIRDS

The birds have amazing courting behaviour, singing and dancing to attract females, males can work very hard to be allowed to mate.

Here are some couples of pigeons. They can be easily spotted as they are everywhere and males have also to deserve the attention from the females. I am sure you all have seen how sometimes two or three males are chasing one female, or just one will dance and turn around showing his quality.

Going into Autumn our season is over, never photographed in compromised positioning being too fast for my timing 😃 good luck to all entrants and keep having fun!

Oh, I am sorry you will skip this round @joanstewart.

If only the grebes around here would be more cooperative I could catch their strange courtship dance for this contest lol.

Cross fingers they would be cooperative LOL.

As soon as they see me they dive under the water then reappear all the way across on the other side of the lake.

Hello dear friend @nelinoeva good night
What beautiful photographs you have captured to present the contest. Great shots

I am a bit sad because this time I do not know if I can accompany you, in this area we are in autumn, I do not know if it is the mating period of the birds, however, it is not all said, maybe I can take a picture between the sleeves

I hope you passed and enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sunday

No worries dear @jlufer. There are new weeks ahead with new and diverse themes.
