Great behaviour capture Karl! Nice timing to get these two with their 'mirror' poses.

Karl, great twin display poses, facing each other like that.  Wonderful behavior capture - made me reminisce how interesting it is, observing them running around, then bending forward while flashing their tail - very cool.

I'm a sucker for a fanned tail. And you've got two. Great timing.
