Description

Taken with Canon EF70-200IS USM lens.

The peahen and the chook were eyeballing each other. The chook was having a dust bath and the peahen wanted it's spot. The chook managed to hold it's position for quite some time but then the peahen called in reinforcements. The chook was surrounded by three peahens and then surrendered its position.
