Battle of the Godwits

This is the last post from the session at Marshside. I was fortunate to be in just the right position in the hide when two Black-tailed Godwits had a dispute. All was fairly short-lived and I think from this sequence of photographs it is obvious which bird won.

Let the battle commence...

The object of the fight appears to be to jump on your opponents head.

Then grabbing them around the neck

and then pushing them down

so they get a good dunking
