Early this morning

Shot in fairly heavy fog as seen in the first image. The second after some judicious work in post.





I also did shot a video.

1. Wow, great photos and video, my dear MichaelSoE!

The fight caught me by surprise. I hadn't thought that they fight.

Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year too, while I'm at it.

4. When I got back to the house and related the whole story to my spouse

She reprimanded me . I assure you , I was about 15 meters away, up hill and behind a hedge row. They were more concerned about each other. I was just a witness.

5. Sounds like a safe distance. Stay away from the edge of the water

7. Nice photos,

but I really don't need to meet one of these critters in person! Photos are just fine with me!
