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

The water levels at Knuckey Lagoon were quite low, but apparently just right for the several Egrets that were busily hunting prey.

I've always been fond of these Southern Railway-style intermediates with the offset lower head, but the few that remain seem to be in tough places to shoot. Either they're almost inaccessible, or like this pair there's just a very narrow window of time for when the sun angle works.

Of course, this pair is on borrowed time anyway with NS filing to tear out the CTC between Birmingham and Sheffield.

Evening and the light failing when I spotted this intermediate egret. It was already hunkered down in readiness for the cold night ahead

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

Ardea intermedia

There's plenty of fish for all, as long as then don't encroach on my territory.

Here are a bunch of thin, parallel sills and a few that turn into dikes at random angles (at the left). Notice how the right area with the most intrusions is surrounded by the palest sedimentary rock which matches the pale baked zones in the big dike posted two pictures away.

The SBB Inter Regio service IR2182 was recorded in October 2009 heading away from Cadenazzo station, the first intermediate stop on its journey north via Bellinzona and then the Gotthard route. SBB Class Re 4/4" 11211 was the allocated locomotive for the 13:45 from Locarno and it would be replaced at Luzern, were the train would reverse direct for the final leg of the journey to Basel SBB via Olten.
