Greylag Goose. BY 100
The early morning peace and tranquillity on an upland lake was suddenly broken by this act of aggression between two geese who had just flown in as a threesome from an adjoining lake where they had been floating around in perfect harmony.I'm not sure if it was a case of seeing off a love rival or an act of violent rape. It did however provide me with the best action shots of the day. What amazed me was that the loosing goose escaped the melee by swimming underwater and reappearing some 10-15m away only for the aggressor to launch in to a further attack. Eventually they all left as singles.
