Grey Heron : courtship and mounting : Amazing Wildlife of India by Renu Tewari and Alok Tewari

Here one can
see that a female is
tending the
selected nesting
site ...
... a male arrives with
some more nest
material ... and
immediately transfers
it to the female, who
proceeds to place it
properly, into the
nest ...
then ... they engage in
some courtship
activity and the male
mounts the female ...
... but
this does not culminate
into copulation ... as
she nudges him off ...
... probably not having
reached full maturity ...
