Two sparrows show their rough and tumble during a scrap.
A pair of humble house sparrows show their vicious side as they clash in an avian turf war.
The two male sparrows exchanged blows with their beaks and claws as one pinned the other to the ground in a violent tussle over territory.
The rarely-seen behaviour was captured on camera by wildlife photographer Tom Hadley who spotted the action unfolding on his garden path in Brockenhurst, Hants.
