The males are in full mating display 'mode' -- they trail the tips of the wings on the ground, fluff up their magnificent tail feathers, and 'sing' to the ladies. You will also hear the 'chuck' noise that they make.
They are pretty cool to have around. Quite secretive, we don't see them all that frequently, but we do see the signs of their presence, and we get to hear them this time of year.
Quite a beastie!
