Defeated (week 16/08)
Posted in nature on Apr 22nd, 2008 No Comments »
Last weekend, I made two totally different kind of bird watching sessions. One was a long walk in Töölönlahti (urban park) and another one was visit to Maarin torni in Laajalahti Espoo. I am planning to publish some photographs from Töölönlahti trip during this week, but photo of a week was taken from Maarin torni.
A hooded crow had been peacefully sitting for a while on top of dead birch tree. I guess everyone was not happy about this arrangement, because it got attacked by another hooded crow. After couple attacks, the attacker had to face the fact that it was not going to win this battle and it decided to find another tree for resting.
