Brave

This story happened in seconds and I didn't manage to capture it well. I am posting this story anyway, it would be sad to lose it. 



A Great Blue heron is very annoyed by a gull who is circurling around.  He established his territory and nobody is allowed to be there. A heron shows to a gull how big he is, how strong.






What a brave gull!  Spreading her wings showing to a heron that she isn't powerless also but a heron doesn't care, he is ready to chase an intruder.





Bigger and more powerful birds almost always win.

  1. A battle for territory. The strongest wins.
    A nice moment.
    The ballet of the birds is delicate.

  2. Lo quería todo para ella y echó a la gaviota. El grande siempre puede más. Estupendas secuencias Kaya.
    Buen domingo.

  3. I think gulls must either be among the bravest birds or the craziest birds in the world. I have had one "bounce" off my head periodically when canoeing, but I know it mostly is a territorial and/or a parental matter for them and I have been encroaching on their terrain.

    The last photograph is the most striking among this group, Kaya -- from my point of view ....

  4. Una serie magnífica. Uno lo percibe como si estuviera sentado en el patio de butacas de un gran teatro asistiendo a un espectáculo de ballet clásico.
    Un abrazo,
