Wheatear (male)

This little bird was roaming around with a female in tow yesterday morning, feeding very close to one another. 'Sun was shining, virtually no wind, no bother whatsoever, everyone was happy and co-existing peacefully. Then he attacked the female out of nowhere. As she flew out of the area another female flew in and he attacked her as well. Then he jumped in the bath and as he was getting a wash two male intruders flew in and this is him realising. He came out swinging and attacked them. Upon establishing the rules and other Wheatear vacating the area, he went and sat in the corner in peace and quiet.
