My wildlife photography: the great bustard, Otis tarda. During the mating season, birds can have a ton of strategies to try and mate: some use their singing, others construct amazing nests, and other do absolutely amazing courtship displays. The great bustard falls in the latter category. This is a male during a courtship display; the ellaborate dance they do with their plummage is for me one of the most incredible things I've seen in the animal kingdom!
