Made this image some time back at Masinagudi. The starling on the left side was pushed down from the tree by the other guy. Looks like the guy visited the roosting/nesting site of the other starling. The second guy furiously attacked the intruder and chased him off. It is amazing the extent to which a species goes to defend its territory though in the process it might mean injuring oneself too. Ideally in scenario's like this it is better to shoot at lower apertures like f/16 so that both the subject's eyes are in focus and that would capture the essence of the action. But again f/16 translates to a lower shutter speed which might not be sufficient enough to freeze the fast moving subject. Wildlife photography since it is mostly done with longer focal length lenses it is always a trade off between Depth of field and Shutter speed.
