Fighting Shovelers

More goings on from Leighton Moss.

                                    Here we have a pair of Shoveler doing their own thing when -------

Two neighbours pop round for a chat, unfortunately our first drake decides other-wise and -----

goes on the offencive big style

What I find strange, he only attacks the female, the two males stay firmly apart.

All the second male does is puff his chest out

While near by a pair of Oystercatchers look on rather bemused by all the fuss

before returning to more important matters, food.
