Cock fight! A came across a spectacular sighting in Botswana recently, of two male crested francolins in a fierce battle over the attention of a female. The two completely ignored my presence and fought each other for about 3 minutes. I was amazed at the aggression exhibited by both combatants. Thankfully I managed to come up with two images that I think tell the story.

Goosander, what you guys on the other side of the pond call a Common Merganser.

Long Tailed Tits. Known locally in various parts of the UK as Flying Teaspoon, Bumbarrel, Mumruffin, Bottle Tit, Bum Barrel, Bum Towel, Oven Bird, Bag and Hedge Jug. Lovely.

Another couple of beautiful bird photos Dennis.
The SC is awesome with it's details up close.

The wren is so different and beautiful. Surprised by the comment re it's commonness.

Your various wrens would complement the wrens thread. They'd just about be all covered

Thanks Richard, I was surprised too, as they are the least seen of the Wrens that I come across on my various outings.:-)

Many thanks for the link to the Wren Post, it must have slipped below my radar.:-)

Cheers

Dennis

This is the Male Variegated Fairy-wren and according to Birdlife.org.au, is the most widespread of the nine species of fairy-wrens found in Australia.

Taken on this morning’s walk along Oxley Creek Common in Brisbane.:-)

This shot is a real beauty, Steve! I remember loving my 40D. This shot proves how nice a camera it is...especially when coupled with the Canon 70-200mm lens.

Such a stunning close-up shot of this mature bald eagle, Ed!
