A Bite on The Bum
This was supposed to be a straightforward flight shot as these two headed straight for me. Without warning, one decided to take a bite out of the other's bum! The ensuing noise and frenzy was impressive.

A suberb action capture. Very well seen & taken. Good background, What caused the splash in the water ? was it the wing?

Thanks All!

What caused the splash in the water ? was it the wing?


Yes, I think it was the wing, but the action was so fast, I can't be sure. I didn't actually know that the bill was sunk deeply into the other goose until I saw it on computer later!

One of the best images I've seen on this forum. Just as well I'm not looking for any detractions as there are none. Superb work.

An unusual, but lovely behavioural shot. The title gave me a chuckle! Very nice indeed.
