Fighting Egrets

With their heads held high and their eyes fixed intently on each other, this is the dramatic moment two birds squared up to each other in a mid-air altercation. The feisty egrets went head-to-head in a turf war as they fought over a feeding ground at a salt marsh in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, USA. The bolshy birds can be seen mimicking each other as they prepare for battle before one makes a move and grabs the other by the beak.
