These two ladybirds look like they are mating. As far as I know this is unlikely for different species.

West Park herons: punk and parents
Another big set of pictures of the nesting pair of herons and their growing chick, all standing on their favourite willow tree.
The bird with head feathers like a punk mohican haircut is the fast-growing youngster, and the one with the neck extended and elongated is the adult female.
The young bird was preening – in some of the pictures traces of the down it was removing can be seen on its beak.
