Fencing - territorial behavior

[Krijn Trimbos]

Taken in spring this year while conducting my Black tailed Godwit fieldwork. Certainly not the best shot I ever made but I was happy capturing this behavior. Don't like the light angle here, but am happy with the head and body angle of the left bird and the interaction of the right bird with the left one. Hope you like it,

I'm not bothered by the light angle Krijn; a little shadowing on the breast of the bird on the left, but it's not what I would call harsh. The behavior captured is great. Sharpness and DOF are excellent too. Thanks for posting!

Lovely behavioral image, nice habitat too.

Well done, Krijn. Great behaviour shot. Light shows detail fine. DOF perfect
