Ostrich Common (Struthio camelus) male & female mating – Cape West South Africa

This is one of a series.  At first we thought the male ostrich was dancing by swaying left to right.  Looking through the binoculars we realised it was mating.  The event was all over in a few minutes and then the couple scattered in different directions!
