Stingrays  Dance

In the 20 years I have lived in Byron Bay I had never witnessed stingrays mating. It was all over in less than 90 seconds. Coincidentally my partner had been snorkeling with the turtles the day before when 3 spotted eagle rays swam by. That night I googled ray behaviour only to learn about their mating habits. The next day I witnessed this. Such a Magic Moment.
