I like the first photo, the choughs are reacting to the incoming bird.

Full video (20 seconds) is available at https://youtu.be/GRpMd1UPIQo If you can step though frame-by frame, it looks amazing. The choughs seem to drink in such a way that one of them is always on the look-out.

Nice one, I notice the magpie came back for another swoop at 0:17 and the choughs knew about it because of the sentry duty.
