White-breasted Waterhen (Amauronis phoenicurus) : preening, fighting

 



Spotted those two from a distance - running then fighting , shall give myself credit for getting better at spotting (even if it's moving stuff o.o) though I need to steady my camera when I'm zooming in close. We'll get there

Personally I usually see them and their black sooty puffball looking chicks passing by. It's a first time seeing them preen (pov from an bridge) and fight - with the latter's recording ending with the waterhens' beaks opened cause panting? Am not sure if it's a territorial fight from my general online search
