Spoonbill chased off by Cormorant

This is the first time I've seen a Great Cormorant attack a Spoonbill to steal his fish. It was successful too.

The Spoonbill is relatively inexperience (immature), and the Cormorant has jet propulsion facility to help it to increase speed. Very funny picture! Thank you.
