..and nobody is watching, what does that mean?
Ok Ok, I was watching, but not a hen anywhere in sight, sorry about the picture quality, but by the time I remembered there was a camera in my pocket he has spotted me and deflated rapidly, but until then it was a pretty elaborate dance :)

Somewhere in the bush a hen is purring & he is flirting , dragging & druming his wing tips on the ground & displaying how handsome he his trying to get her to come hither & be courted . Nature at its finest . Luck

We get groups of Toms too that display to each other to establish dominance.
However - your roosters do display to you so I have to wonder......

I think his girlfriend is there somewhere, probably just took a break to lay an egg. But, sometimes the fellas don't know when to give up, so she could be long gone, who knows LOL

I hope it's not me.......;)
He is still hanging around and although I find his displays mildly attractive, the dog not so much.
I hope this isn't another year of confused bachelors.
