Dunnocks mating dance
Posted: 05 Apr 2015, 16:31I actually witnessed this mating dance yesterday. They do a little dance with the female really flirting with her wings held open.
It was beautiful to see and thought you may like to share it.

The male dunnock pecks the female's cloaca. Female ejects sperm probably of other male's. And the mating is very quick.
