At one of my usual haunts. One White-Faced Heron was minding his own business when the neighbourhood bully suddenly flew in and it was on for young and old. The whole thing lasted probably 2 minutes and got quite nasty, spearing beaks and claws. Not sure who won. It looked like the bully did but then they both flew off in the same direction, only for one to return a few minutes later. I really couldn't see what was achieved by it all.

Superb action shots, Wendy. It seems to be outside breeding season for white-faced herons so this may have been a territorial dispute.
