We spent the day on Brownsea on Sunday and were privilaged to see the spectacle of black tailed godwits fighting, something we have never witnessed before. There were at least 3 different pairs who set to at various times during the day and it was an eye opener to see just how violent they get, from the simple beak crossing, trying to stab each other, through to one apparently trying to drown the other, as this sequence shows. All shot with 300 f4.
