Sometimes things are really tricky for the White Storks, as they return and claim a nest. The fights can be fearsome and persistent. Obviously those are two females who fight against each other. One has got a ring low at leg, the other is unringed ...The ringed one is injured on the forhead, while the other on the chest. The fight started around 10.50 local time and continued until the dark. Maybe they will continue their fight during the night or tomorrow ...We will see ...
First it was just display and clatters
But soon they started to fight face to face
The intruder tries to land on the nest. You can see the blood on her chest and lower
Not for long
With some breaks between them, the attacks were going and going
She is really in bad shape
Around 17.40 the unringed female managed to land on the nest for some time. Even the male tried to mate with her. But not for long
The ringed female managed to take her nest back before the dark
