I noticed this pair of Magpie Robin on the water pipe on our terrace. They slowly moved towards each other and stayed at a safe distance. The female flew away thereafter!
The male after a long pause started to sing again. For the next fifteen minutes or so it continued its birdsong and left the site.
I apologise that the birds appear in different sizes as they are cropped photographs.
This story is common for most birds. There is a selection process before mating. Often the female birds choose its mate, based on the the nature of the birdsong of the male bird!
Sometimes it is good for us to lift our attention form our world of preoccupations or encumbrances and look away into the wide world around us to take in some other events and happenings.
I felt sad to see the Magpie Robin leave the site without its friend!
I shall now watch out for either of the Robins to return!
