User's notes
Male had his blue and yellow objects and was displaying to the female, but suddenly dropped the objects and jumped onto the side of the bucket for a drink of water. His right side looks like a full grown male, but the left side shows that he still has some green patches, so almost a fully mature male (8 yo). After his drink he collected his objects and flew to the back of the garden and continued his display.
