Spring-Summer - 319

This dasher is all ready
with his product ...

... now calling
vigorously to attract
a lady to come and
inspect it ...
... and adopt if she
finds it good enough

He may end up making
more than one nest
before being
successful ...

Their nesting
activity peaks with
the Monsoon months ...
... when the reed and
other long grasses are
good ... they split
and longitudinally tear
its long leaf and use it
for weaving an
intricate nest ...

Watch their skill and
the calling and competition
for a mate in the following
video-clips done at Keoladeo ...
