This was the first time I had witnessed the courtship display. I appreciate the background is less than ideal but it was a case of it being my first opportunity to capture the behaviour. I returned the following day but no luck. I will go back again to see what I can capture. I would normally have used a faster shutter speed but I knew the crop would be significant so I didn't want to raise the ISO to much, hence 1/800sec.
