Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?

Anupam!!
I really struggled with its plumage in the early morning light. I feel it’s 'blown out' too much?
Intermediate Egrets (Ardea intermedia) Intermediate Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
With every engine in notch 8, eastbound NS loaded coal train 740 rumbles past the Summit intermediate signal and towards the summit of the Dry Fork near Bandy, VA, on the afternoon of October 6, 2018.
IMO ..from a North American perspective this bird has foraging mannerisms intermedite between a Spotted Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs
Like the Spotted in that it intermediately does the "Rump Pump"
Although comparable in size top the Solitary Sandpiper , it forages at a faster pace - more vigorously and animated than a SOSA
Rather reminiscent of its cousin the Lesser Yellowlegs
Yet it is not so frenetic and frantic as a Greater Yellowlegs' typical feeding style
i was very fortunate on this particular morning with practically continuous views for almost an hour as it foraged

Congrats Geoffrey on finding this exquisite mega rarity
i had been 0 for 3 before this outing ..
There has been more water coverage than is typical at this location, this spring season.
One of the best spots for shorebirds & ducks around Greater Victoria - early 2021..and on into the summer
Moving at a blistering 30 MPH, an eastbound manifest has only the illusion of speed, as it works it's way up the grade approaching Shawmut Az
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

Habitat: wetlands, swamps, flooded grassland

Intermediate egret
This species looks similar to the great egret but smaller in size with neck length a little less than body length, has a slightly domed head, and a shorter and thicker bill.
Location- Jorhat, Assam, India
I miss it all so much already.
The core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, backlights one of 16 remaining semaphore blades along the Raton and Glorietta Subdivisions. The WB signal indicates a clear; however, the next train would pass through here almost 12 hours after this photo was taken: stark contrast to the traffic volumes this route used to see.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)
