Lightmantled Sooty Albatross (Phoebetria fusca) sits on its
nest on the cliffs of South Georgia Island. At the start of
the breeding season, females will sit on the cliffs while the
males fly back and forth calling to the females. Once she finds
one she likes, she will let him land and they will begin an
elaborate mating ritual that involves head ducking, clacking
of bills and rubbing of bills. Eventually they will both fly
off for a synchronized flight that is unparalleled in beauty. |
