In my fifteen years of photographing birds, it was the first time I managed to cover all the steps of a nature story, called mating.
This image was taken right after mating and I found it sweet.
Thanks for looking. (One more image to finish the nature story)

Karl, a fantastic series. I have really enjoyed every image you have captured of the mating ritual. This is a very sweet image to conclude the mating sequence. Well done!
