Hi
I was watching 2 Eurasian. Coots fighting with a lone Dusky Moorhen by 
trying to push it under the water with their feet near Shellharbour, 90 
Km S of Sydney.
The Moorhen seemed to be coming off second best and started to squawk. 
Within 15 seconds another Moorhen appeared and took up a position next 
to the first Moorhen and within a minute 2 more turned up.
The Coots were then getting a hiding and decided retreat was the best 
idea and the 4 Moorhens then swam around in a low profile puffed up 
aggressive pose calling their triumph to the rest of the pond.
Dispute settled and not a WMD in sight.
Cheers  Chris
