Some fights on a dam today.

Short tempers are in abundance in all of us today, including nature.

Peace seems to be temporary nowadays and this couple of Egyptian geese made a perfect picture of happiness.

But the peace was soon shattered by angry squeals and fighting birds.
Our power will be switched off at 6pm, so I have to bust a gut to get this post in before we are cut off. Will see you again at 9pm.
Normally I like to spend a lot of time on a post, but we have to keep on dodging the powercuts. So yes, this makes that we all walk around with short tempers established originally by the Covid thing and the powercuts are only the icing on the cake.
Come and see what the animals think about it.
This guy charged in, and his aim was the little bird at the bottom of the picture.

But that bird sitting at the right of the picture above, counter attacked the charger.

Here we had another scenario where a big bird in the front tried to attack the smaller bird, but you can see that help was on the way.

Now how is this for a special rugby tackle?

And after the tackle, the fight was on.

Did I tell you that the fight was on in all seriousness.

There will always be a winner and a loser. Better to run away, so one can fight on another day.

The dam is covered by an algae virus that we have on most of our dams now in South Africa. Now that the Winter cold is starting, the virus seems to have increased in volume to cover the water.
In some photos here, it looks like the birds are running on sand, but instead they are running on algae covered water.
They do cope with it, by the looks of it as there were also some baby birds around, and the algae did not seem to affect them.
Thank goodness for that, and I hope that you enjoyed the post.

That's All Friends.
