Tug of war

The white fronted terns were fishing today, and having success. I was watching the two in the background of this pic, as he had brought a fish but didn't want to give it up when it came to it, and for at least 5 minutes it was a stalemate as neither could get enough grip to pull it off the other one - meanwhile the other terns all just got on with their own stuff! In the end the female gave a heave and took off with most of the fish, but he got the head!! So interesting watching them.

The extra is one bringing in a fish.
