The reluctant referee

[Fangman]

And the ref in black just watched!

Round II and still it didn't pull them apart.
It was a good little scrap, other ducks just got out of the way and this fellow in black just floated there and watched the whole episode. The penalties one has to pay when management goes shopping in St Ives! An hour or so to amuse myself went all too quickly!

Whooo, love the action in that first one!! And your suggestion that the 'ref' just watched is so funny.

Thanks Anti - these are just two from the series taken of the fight. The drakes went round in a spin for a minute or so and then broke apart. The coot just watched it all whilst the ducks and swans tried to ignore them.
An hour or so just whisked by with all the activity on the river to keep the old chap occupied whilst dress shops could be investigated without "having me hovering" as management said.

Nice action shot. They're funny (and interesting) to watch. Thanks for sharing!
