This interesting action took place in the middle of the swamp, quite far away from the photographer and only lasted a few seconds. I was observant enough to detect that something unusual was going on and the camera was good enough to take some 20-25 images and document the scene.
And the image below shows how the babies will look like if they survive past the egg stage.

An 'interesting' bit of photographic documentation!
ReplyDeleteHi Nickolay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning sequence. And a nice tender moment, after the event.
Brilliant.
Thank you, Denis!
ReplyDeleteI was very excited about it when I saw and photographed it, but then I hesitated for a while whether to publish the photos or not.
Thanks for the comments, Mick and Dave! Much appreciated!
See folks, even the birds know how important the after-cuddle is!
ReplyDelete(Great photos!)
