A male and female kingfisher make a splash as they fight after a courting ritual went wrong. According to a photographer who captured pictures of the battle, the female bird had entered into the male's nest uninvited and the pair 'did not click'.<br /> <br /> This prompted the male bird to pull her away, which resulted in a fight breaking out. Bram Oostdijk, 67, took these pictures at a cemetery in Schiedam, the Netherlands.
