After he mounted and mated with her, the male mantled again before flying off again.

Male mantles on the nest after mating.

Then they both fly off together at 10.56am

Morning Rose, Happy Easter!

That is 3 matings we have documented this morning and I could have missed an earlier one.

Hi Nanc
Great snaps from this morning.
Oh boy, this nest is confusing. That does not look like the same
female from yesterday. This one looks like she has more black
feathers on her chest area, and I'm still wondering if these
mounting maneuvers are actually mating or is this an attempt to
chase the other female away.
Time will tell I guess.

Happy Easter to you & your family, as well.
