The first 19 images in the slideshow are a series taken late in the afternoon at Olasiti in June 2006 showing a remarkable aerial mating display that lasted 20 minutes or more and included inverted flight (image 16). Note the amazing degree of focus implied in the close passes and how the pair is continually looking at each other during flight.
