Fighting sanderlings
I just returned from a fantastic trip to Iceland. This was taken on the last day of the trip in a small fishing harbour. These 2 sanderlings were at each other throats for quite some time.

Hi Rene, as you know I love this shot - it's great how both have been captured in midair. One of the highlight from our great trip. Mine didn't turn out this sharp unfortunately.

Cheers, Helge
