Well, it could be both.

Could be two males fighting over a female.

But, I looked up the breed and learned that males and females are marked the same, so maybe it is love. (I also learned they often mate for life, like swans and geese.)

So I guess we will just never know if it’s a fight or love or both.

But thanks for another wonderful photo. It is always so lovely to see your posts.
