Default Fishing dispute

Tern are really good at fishing but guard there territory with great vigour. One Tern used the eastern shoreline of the lagoon to catch crabs and small fish to eat and also to bring back to its partner who is sitting on a clutch of eggs on an island 100' away.
Along came another Tern trying to 'muscle in' on the action. Immediately, the two flew up high in aerial combat. These images are some taken of the conflict.

The outcome of this dispute was that the shoreline was split into two. Both birds landed on a large stone in their half, spent about 5 minutes giving each other verbal abuse and then resumed fishing.
Images taken at The Oysterbeds, North Hayling Island.
I hope that these fit in with this forum and hope you find them amusing.

Thank you Jim. I am so pleased I had not mis-judged what is acceptable. I came here for help with an insect ID which the forum resolved and I hope to re-pay that with images from time to time.

Beautiful photos of some beautiful birds, definitely more than welcome on this forum they brought a smile to my face. Please keep posting these as I am sure the vast vast majority of fishermen are just as passionate about wildlife as wildlife photographers.
