    Thank you for the information Peter. The great thing about a site such as this is that you learn not only from your own experiences but also gain the knowledge of others that post comments such as yours. Many thanks and greatly appreciated.

    The female orange tip is showing the male that she has been fertilised. It is something which you can see quite often once you have seen the display a few times. I haven't yet seen the opposite display, if there is one. Nicely shot! Peter
