Moorhens FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Had a lovely peaceful stroll around the London WWT today with an old school friend.. enjoying the break from winter with some warm spring sunshine.. The day was about catching up and nattering, not really phtography.. but come on.. no camera slung around my neck... ha!! suddenly we came across these pugnacious moorhens.. I couldn't tell whether this was a mating ritual or actually a fight to the death.. it looked somewhat like a fight to the death, so we quickly exited stage left.. cowards that we were . . . .



Someone called for reinforcements here.. either that or it was the mother shouting somewhat despairingly like I do at the boys.. 'For once and for all will you just STOP...' It didn't work.....



Other than the fight, there was little to photograph today... even the magpie swans that love to torment me so much were strangely absent
