I've seen pictures of birds fighting, we've even had some as the IOtD.
But I've never seen pictures of birds doing the kung fu thing before.

These incredible pictures show two birds of prey spectacularly fighting each other in snow like karate movie legends. In one image a large buzzard appears to aim a deadly flying kick at its opponent's chest. Just seconds later it seems to have floored its foe with a total knockout - leaving it spread-eagled on the ground.

The comical event was captured on camera this month by office worker Marcin Nawrocki, 33. He witnessed the acrobatic display in wintery woodland near his home in Kutno, Poland. Wildlife lover Marcin, a hobby photographer, said: 'I have seen buzzards fight this way many times.
'They fought very spectacularly and it looked like a deadly scrap. But even after the most ferocious fight the birds just dust themselves off seem to come away uninjured.

I'm glad to hear they aren't seriously hurt, but isn't this a pretty extreme was to settle an argument. They should act more like people... oh wait... er, nevermind.
