What an amazing shot!
Do they usually display during territorial spats, or was this one multitasking and simultaneously trying to impress a female?

I think the display was purely for the dispute with the other male. There was no female nearby at the time.

I wanted to replace the main image and I deleted it and now when I add a better one it just vanishes. As a result I deleted the most important image :-(
