Two swans make heart-shape as they bow their necks in courtship dance
00:00:28
A pair of adorable swans formed the perfect heart-shape with their necks in a romantic courtship dance. The love birds were spotted by an eagle-eyed walker who noticed the devoted birds getting into position. In a video the swans can be seen bending their necks in unison at their home in Clumber Park, Notts. The birds touch beaks while making the heart-shape before twisting their necks back and forth to complete the act. The mating ritual signifies the pair have established a territory and are strengthening their bond as the birds begin to mate in March. Kevin Hutton, 41, recovery lorry driver and yard worker, spotted the pair on a nature walk around the leafy park at the weekend. The dad-of-four said: "I've never seen it before. I was looking at the info. "I was walking around Clumber with the family and was recording some ducks and things and I saw them two and started. "They weren't doing anything, they were relaxing and then they started doing that. It's like a heart shape, it's lovely. Apparently they mate for life. "It's the heart shape, I've never seen birds make that shape before." A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust said the swans "make this wonderful heart shape with their head and necks as part of a courtship ritual". They added: "It's that time of the year when the pair will have established a territory and are strengthening their bond."
