Might is Right

Size, might and power have always been effective in eliminating our rivals. Examples abound, not least in nature.

Here at the Middle Lake near Kerang, a white-necked heron settles in a tree above the wetlands.

Unbeknownst to the heron, a great egret takes flight.

The egret makes it very clear which tree he wants to perch in. He spreads his wings and presents his full size to the alarmed heron.

With predictable results.
