A very nice series John, I had very simular shots to you but not so clear......were you standing next to me by any chance???

It was nice to have met up with you and Martin again, pity that the weather didn't play ball and give us a sunny day, Maybe next time.

Excellent action shots. I really wished I had somewhere close to me that I could watch this type of behaviour!

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. Wayne, after we left you we later headed over to the Peter Scott hide ( I think it was that one ) and it was late afternoon when I managed to get these. The light was awful as you know so maybe next visit, it will be better. Nice to meet up with you mate...:-)

Thank you Peter, very much appreciated. These had been spoiling for a fight for quite a while and we were lucky to be there when it kicked off !!
