These two Shellduck were really p***** off with the constant attacks by the overprotective Avocet parents ( three chicks this year) and start to fight back.
Excellent aerial manoeuvres.

No1 & 2 Sly dropkicks.

Many thanks Rob & Phil - yes it was great to watch but no harm done - they eventually settled down, but not before going to annoy the oystercaychers ' just for the hell of it'
And one more just to show how fearless they are
Kind regards Alan.
