Mute Swans in Fight

Witnessed another interesting behaviour from wildlife lately. I've never seen swans fight almost to the last breath over a female. You could hear the loud thud from their wings 30meters away as they struggle to get the upperhand positions. The fight lasted for more than 10mins and this is the longest one I have seen so far.

Great action shots

Wow, great action sequence! Well captured too.

Interesting and unique compositions, well done... I especially like the 1st & 3rd shot.

I was there at the scene just 2 mins when the fight started, nice timing.

Nasty indeed and a lot of people in the park just can't believe what they're witnessing. I thought swans are gentle unlike the Canada geese that are always aggressive.
