CommentA ferocious fight between, presumably, two males on the last day of winter.
Spring has been in the air for some days here, and this is probably competition for the favour of the bird on the right, likely a female.
So athletic, they leap and kick, the body language tells it all.
EquipmentCanon 80D; Canon lens 400 mk 2; Ext 1.4; handheld. ISO 2500 ; F 7.1: 1/3200
