Gannet agression
Gannets pair for life and appear to be very affectionate towards their life partner, and chicks. However, when you live in a vast colony of thousands of birds there is bound to be an occassion when one ventures too far into another one's personal space. When that happens they can be really aggresive towards the intruding bird. This tussle went on for about 10 minutes with neither backing down. Those locked bills stayed that way for quite a while. Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire.
