With such 'nice' weather the local Coots on Purfleet Scrape were getting firstly frisky and then fighty!  Two pairs were going at it with gusto early on and a third pair even came over to join in the fray. What's the point of watching when you can join in. After much semi-drowning and head stabbing the trio of pairs went their separate ways and moved back beyond their invisible watery boundary lines.

Coming up for air..

Escape...

Mr Coot gets on his phone to call the Police to report a serious assault on his wife....
