Monarchs of Spring at their finest!
In the Misty Morning
[Slideshow - click this -http://www.flickr.com/photos/23405826@N08/sets/72157604014135162/show/

These photos where given to me and I just need to share………
Off in the distance on a foggy spring morning the flock begins to assemble after they have flown down form their nightly roost.
We have Hens, Jakes and Toms all jockying for a dominant place.
Some feed while others are looking to for a mate.
But back in the corner the Dominant Toms appear and start to Strutt to hopefully attract a lady or two. The ritual of Spring has begun.
The Toms Srtutt (display their fans) to attract the ladies…
Hope you enjoyed them

RE: Monarchs of Spring at their finest!
Sure did Ultimag - I wished the photos where a bit larger as it wold make it easier to see.....but is a new photo hosting site and I'll need to fix that.
The last series you can just see the Hen's head as she laid down so the Mr Tom could mate.
