I arrived at the nest of the Floundering GBH Couple a few days later just as they started to mate.

A quick love bite on the neck

Some tricky maneuvering among the limbs proved they have the mating part figured out

The male quickly flew off in search of nest material…

He promptly returned with a small offering…

…much to the female’s delight.

The nest is bigger than last week, but it still has a bit to go before it is family ready.
