New on 500px : Battle in the Dust by JFdeVilliers by JFdeVilliers

This is one of my favorite photos I took at Etosha National Park in August last year. We spent three days at this specific water hole, and only once did the zebras fight like this, for about a minute. We only shot in the western part of the park. It has recently been reopened to the public, and we had the most amazing concentration of wildlife around the waterholes. The tension is always high at the water and the dust filled sky made a very dramatic backdrop for this scene.

The right hand Great Tit (Parus major) was patiently waiting his turn on the feeder when his attacker hurtled into him at full speed, intent on knocking him off his perch – note the head-butting action! It all happened in a flash

New on 500px : Battling The Cormorants !!!!!!!!!!!!! by judylynn by judylynn

It has been an interesting time here as the wood storks have pretty much taken over the island where the cormorants and great blue herons were nesting. There are still a couple of great blue nests and a couple of cormorants as well as anhingas but the rest of the island is wood storks. This happened last year and I was a witness last year to exactly what happens. Several wood storks come in and just chase out the already nesting birds. Other years they did not nest on this island but it looks like this is going to happen each year now. Fortunately in the image I posted the cormorant was able to fight off the wood stork and retain her nest with a juvenile still in the nest . How long she will be able to protect remains to be seen. But I do hope she can and save her young. Life in the wild is exciting, beautiful, difficult , sad and happy. So many adjectives and how awesome to be a part of this incredible world.

wishing you all a wonderful and blessed Tuesday !!!
