magpie Geese Altercation

Hi

I hate to ruin the mood of rawshorty's great photos but mine are in the same vein but there is a third wheel (wing) present.  We visited a wonderful wetlands in Townville, it is call The Common and there were 100s of birds there, the noise was deafening and I did not know where to point my camera first.  These are a few shots of an altercationbetween 3 magpie geese obviously 2 males and one little lady. 

Cheers Diane
