The Winner!

Continuing my walk around the fishing pond after photographing battling herons, I came upon the winning combatant. He/she just glared at me as I walked by and took this shot from about two metres away. A few ruffled feathers and some blood on the beak was the only evidence of the recent epic battle.

Got some of the other guy's down on the end of its beak too.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
