-title sounds like a paramilitary group, but I thought I'd start this thread for combat dances after watching a couple of males at a London site today - first of the year for me.

More combat at another London site today, but in a bramble patch so rubbish photos - but here's the happy couple after the male had won his mate:

Thanks Dave - yours are far better !  I'm determined to get the classic shot of two males entwined and facing directly at the camera.  Oh well, there's always next year...

I was over in SA with Tony Phelps in March, he had a fantastic photo of them dancing, on his wall, I guess you just need to be in the right place at the right time.

Keep us posted mate.

Cheers,

Dave
