Nice to see two of them, not sure if it was a territorial dispute or romance :)

@Waterwatch, maybe. I did not get one with a fish on a tightrope but I hope @DonFletcher will be happy I got two of them :)

I am happy. If you had a million dollar video camera, you could get a job with David Attenborough @rawshorty .
Now I can bear to wait for your photo of one dancing on a tightrope with a fish in its mouth.
These will be chewing up a lot of waterbirds. Potentially posing an interesting dilemma for a captive waterbird place.
