The carnivorous in the Black-thighed Falconets belies one of its most distinct traits, that they're as affectionate as they're predacious.
They're always seen in pairs, whether male and female, adult and young, most seen cosying up to one another, nuzzling and grooming each other.
As these birds like to sit on exposed dead branches and frequently return to the same spots, they're easy to sight and observe.
This pair was seen to perch for more than 10 minutes, and taking turns to groom each other.
They too will spot you if you stop to observe, but they're hardly distracted when they're being demonstrative.
Then it's the smaller, or younger one's turn.
And back and forth they go.
And then it's my way, and ...
and your way... till we meet again!
