Moorhens are very interesting to watch when they fight. They sort of lean back and kick out/grab each other with their legs, almost as if they're wrestling. There always seems to be a "referee" present to break things up too!

On this occasion the ref got caught out and can be seen steaming in to disrupt the scrap.

I'm hopeless at judging distances but "a fair way". Maybe 10 meters or so, I'm not sure!
