Yikes !!! I thought I must have missed it but it's all there waiting for attention :)))
Thank you, everyone, for the super captures and info :)
I can't believe they arrived together - but they did! ;-D
Three matings altogether, only the first successful, IMHO. They were on the nest nearly 13 minutes, this is cut down to 5 but no significant activity missing - you know how they like to stand and (males) mantle and (females) look a bit nonplussed ;)
UNCUT VERSION:
The first was the best ;)
He sat here for ages after his second nestcupping:

Keep up Mike LOL.... I did say where it came from in my original post. Also "left Leg" Ha Ha..... back to the sofa for me :-) :-) its been all too much this morning the old head can't cope :-)
Polly it took ages to get it just at the right nano second to show the ring, as you said kept pixilating all the time. Always worth it though to identify anyone visiting the nest.
