The biggest one wins........

As it is very hot and shade is precious, this Springbuck chased the Dikkop off it's nest! Normally there is one under each olive tree, but the buck found it cooler here.

Wonderful capture!, there's enough shade to share!

I hope there aren't any eggs in the Dikkop nest! In nature the big one usually wins. Great photo that really shows what just happened.

Love this shot Diana. The poor dikkop looks a bit perplexed

[Dyan Stevens]

Great shot of these two. The eye of the Dikkop keeps looking at me.

[Henri Russell]

Really shows the advantage is size.
