Winner, Animal Behaviour, ANZANG 2009

I was lying beside a small gravel scrape photographing the many birds coming in to drink in the heat
of the day. A male Goshawk landed close to another and they immediately began to size one another
up. As this escalated to wing lifting, I squeezed off a series of shots before the left-hand bird relented and moved away. The entire confrontation, resolved without contact, lasted less than two seconds!
Near Broome, Western Australia.
