fighting Gannets

The image was taken in Scotland in the gannetry of Trouphead , near Aberdeen. In the colonies, given the limited space available and the competition for resources ( particularly in the nesting period) is easy to observe aggressive behaviors. In this case, two individuals scrambled holding by the bill as long as one chose to escape the fight.
L'immagine è stata scattata in Scozia , nella colonia di Sule di Trouphead ,vicino ad Aberdeen. Nele colonie, data la limitatezza dello spazio a disposizione e la competizione per le risorse ( particolarmente nel periodo di nidificazione ) è facile osservare comportamenti agressivi. In questo caso due individui si sono azzuffati afferrandosi per il becco finchè uno non ha preferito la fuga alla lotta.

It doesn't look a good spot to fight!
