They gather in the setting sun — wearing their best costumes.
The males glide there silently or preen themselves
While the females are all a-twitter with excitement.
The singing and dancing,
That glorious burst of sunset colours –
Who can resist the temptation?
Yep – that’s right! The nightlife over here is pretty wild.
For more wild skies, please visit: Skywatch and Camera Critters.
I’m back from Disneyland (Paris)! We all had a wonderful time and have come back with good memories and aching feet. I’ve got quite a backlog so will be catching up with you over the next few days. Thank you for all your kind comments.
