Mallard v Pheasant Fight !

Sat and watched this Female Mallard trying to see of the Pheasant which she obviously saw as a threat to her Ducklings, she had already chased him away once, she took her brood off into the woods and a couple of hours later returned where Mr Pheasant was happily scratching in the mud, the ducklings charged in around the Pheasant, not his fault this time, anyway Mum blazed in ! this is a little of what happened.

I know the photos are poor quality but it was cloudy and in the woods so could not get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action.
