Default 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

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.
