I was hiking in a remote jungle and came onto a small opening where two bears were fighting, probably for territory. For a while they did not notice me and I was shooting in long bursts. Eventually, they turned their attention to me and I had to run real fast. ... Just kidding. Of course it's a zoo.

This is a rather poor image technically, and the pylon spoiled everything. So I'm posting temporarily, until I manage to get a better shot. But I like the action and it shows the hardships that eagles have to endure once they catch the fish. I can confirm that the eagle at the top, who caught the fish, was able to fend off his challengers and got to enjoy his lunch.

You just have to keep out the way of them.

Just like all birds when fighting there don't see you.?

And is very easy to slip in the snow.

large herds of Spotted Deer live in the grassland areas in Panna Tiger Reserve.

There were frequent rutting calls and one morning we were able to observe some intense battles between stags.

Pure street theater. Two old men arguing – one raising his arm and the other responding. In the background, the everyday city: the attention to the everyday gesture that becomes epic.

I just love the 'Referee' in these fights

Many thanks for taking time to view, comment and fave. Thats very much appreciated

I've just got back from spending a long weekend in the company of foxes. It was a fantastic experience and seeing behaviour like this was amazing to see.

It looks far more violent than it actually was, as for most of the time these two vixens were quite happy in each other's company.

Territorial fights become more and more a scene in the local basin. Pictured here two Trumpeter Swans did just that when suddenly one decided the other one got too close. Luckily there was no sore loser at this time, and it ended very quickly as well.

It may seem like you are in a dark hole, but soon the light will shine and you can fight your way though

Its in the worst battle that you learn the most.

Go get it, fight for it, you deserve the light to come back.

I went through 2.5 litres of sunflower hearts today.

Space on my two seed feeders was at a premium and squabbles were frequent.

The smaller Siskin was the aggressor but the Brambling wouldn't be bullied.

Just 30 minutes in the hide today but it was action packed :)

As I waited for the fog to clear somewhat for another photo, I saw this silver birch tree behind me. Love how it's given itself a fighting chance to grab some sunlight from underneath the canopy of pine trees. I guess I'm rooting for it (pun well and truly intended).

that gnaws at all of us

We don't exist without light.
