I'm glad to have both videos as sometimes one works better for me than the other. I also thought there was a slight dip & sway to the male's bowing. Now if we can just see if there are racing stripes on the back of his head, we'll know . . . :sfyesno:

Both on the ledge...pics to follow...

He arrived first, then Durand...they are still there...

Durand went into the box doing her bonding call, but he did not follow, so far anyway, but he does seem curious.

She just did a bounce step out of the box, looked back at him and dove. He is standing on the edge of the ledge, oops and he flew too.

Love the pic of the Durand dive SGB. She's amazing.

He is so smitten with her.

I agree, that Durand cracks me up with the way she just dives off and straight down. The guy also cracks me up with flying everywhere. Thanks for the great captures this morning, SGB and ljames. :wavingsnowgirl:

At 3.40pm someone arrived and left a
minute or so later.
I did not hear a sound and no famous dive :wink:

so I suppose it was Durand's visitor.

Thank you Arles. He flutters around with his tail spread- like a butterfy.
