Avocet invitation.
Robert L Jarvis

Avocet invitation. (Recurvirostra avosetts)

The female took up the invitation pose for some minutes, but the male stretched his wings and legs, preened for a while and started feeding. After about 2 minutes the female gave up and went about feeding. Not a very horny male!!!

Nice shot Robert! I like the way his leg is stretched out behind... one shot we have (not as good as yours) she is practically submerged flat out - perhaps it was the lady that wasn't that interested??? LOL
