These pictures show an otter chasing a hapless grey heron at Leighton Moss, Lancashire.
Photographer Keith Scovell captured the action in December.
He explains: "A Grey Heron roosting on the edge of the reeds paid scant attention to these playful mammals; that was until two Otters got a little too close for comfort. Little did I think that an Otter would have a go at such a large bird, but the Heron wasn't going to take any chances and flew away to what it thought was a safe distance. At this point the Otters disappeared into the reeds, only for one to reappear behind the Heron and proceed to give chase. The Heron took off again, and I think was inches away from being caught when the ice gave way beneath the Otter; a close shave indeed!"

Lion Cub Chases Mother's Tail
These charming pictures show a lion cub bonding with its mother - by nipping at her tail.
Wimbledon-based photographer Paul Goldstein captured the scene in Kenya's Masai Mara in January.
Paul, an Exodus travel guide, says: "I have spent many months photographing lions in the Masai Mara Conservancies. It is when the cubs get to about three months that they really become playful and grab mum's tail. However much it displeases her, it never seems to go out of fashion.
"This is a very healthy pride and it appears that after feeding the cubs need less rest than their parents, hence the extended crèche hours."

Photographer captures picture of a 'dog-bird', Opotiki Beach, New Zealand - Nov 2013

A photographer has captured a picture of the mythical 'dog-bird'.
Megan Whiteley shot an image of what appeared to be a hound with wings as she strolled along Opotiki Beach in New Zealand.
But despite the fact Megan is a Biomedical Scientist the quirky snap is actually a trick of perspective.
The 22-year-old was photographing a friend's dog running along the beach when the unusual optical illusion occurred.
Megan, from Hamilton, explains: The dog is a friend's and is called Snoopy. He is obsessed with chasing seagulls and I managed to get this shot as I followed him, running with my zoom using sports mode."
The amazing image has already got an online following with over 730,000 views on the Imgur website.
Comments have included "More than a dog, more than a bird, it's a dogbird!", although one person wondered of the practicalities of the new species, commenting: "Now imagine a giant mound of dogpoop hitting your windshield and landing in your coffee."

Mother wildebeest saves calf from leopard attack, Masai Mara, Kenya - 17 Sep 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Martin Farrell (3090955w)
Protective Wildebeest Mother Leaves Leopard Licking Its Wounds After Failed Attack
This young wildebeest looked destined to become lunch for a hungry leopard - but the big cat hadn't counted on a powerfully protective mother.
These jaw-dropping shots show the predator stalking and then pouncing on the seemingly doomed six-month-old calf.
However, its nearby mother was well-placed to react quickly and counteracted with a precision horned-headbutt to the leopard's upper body.
In a blink of an eye, the stunned cat went from being the attacker to scampering off with its tail between its legs with the angry female in pursuit.
The stunning images were captured by Martin Farrell, 54, from Bristol, who was taking a Kicheche safari camp tour of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya.
His wife Kathy, 58, a recently retired pharmacist, also managed to shoot a dramatic video of the encounter: http://bit.ly/1boNUZM
Kicheche guide Benjamin Kaluena, who spotted the cat and sensed that there may be action, said: "Leopard kills in daylight hours are incredibly rare but in over 5,000 game drives I have never seen anything like this!"
Kathy said: "We have done many safari but have never seen anything remotely like this and somehow Benjamin put us in the right place at the right time."
Kicheche camp co-owner and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains: "Martin and Kathy Farrell stopped to observe a sleeping leopard. It soon awoke and immediately started hunting.
"This was a big, fully adult male after a young wildebeest which, during migration will form a major part of its diet. However, having brought it down with a tackle any rugby wing forward would have been proud of, it was not prepared for the 'mother-lode' of anguish and protection the wildebeest mum threw at him.

Rosie the abandoned fox cub chases her friend Maddy the dog, Near Corwen, North Wales - 29 Aug 2013

Out-Foxed: Rosie the Fox Really Wants Doggy Friend Maddy's Rock
It's not often you will see a hound chased by a fox but that doesn't stop this cute cub leaping after her doggy pal.
These hilarious pictures show the incredible bond formed between Maddy the dog and abandoned fox cub Rosie.
Photographer Richard Bowler captured the heart-warming action at his home near Corwen, North Wales.
They show six-month-old Rosie leaping after Maddy in an attempt to deprive the Lakeland Patterdale cross of one of her much-cherished rocks.
But Maddy, 4, often out-foxes her pal, even when Rosie tries a surprise flying jump attack from the bushes.
The two have become friends after Rosie was left abandoned when her dad killed most of her litter.
Richard, 44, gave the fox a home at his picturesque small-holding in the Berwyn mountains.
He explains: "It is not known what happened to Rosie's mother. All we know is that she was the only survivor after her dad went rogue. She had to be hand-reared before she had even opened her eyes.
"We decided to give Rosie a home and she quickly bonded with Maddy after they were gently introduced.
"Maddy has always been a playful pet and it is a natural instinct for a fox cub to play so it is no surprise they share the same instinct for fun.
"Maddy's most favourite thing in the world is to chase after stones; she does have toys but prefers stones for some reason. Rosie, although not interested in chasing after a stone, loves to steal anything she can from Maddy.
"She waits until Maddy has the stone in her mouth then jumps all over her trying to steal it. There's nothing nasty about it, it's just the game they have developed. Often Maddy will turn around and chase her, which Rosie loves.
"Since Rosie has grown we have built a large enclosure for them both to run around in, it's full...

He explains: "It is not known what happened to Rosie's mother. All we know is that she was the only survivor after her dad went rogue. She had to be hand-reared before she had even opened her eyes.
"We decided to give Rosie a home and she quickly bonded with Maddy after they were gently introduced.
"Maddy has always been a playful pet and it is a natural instinct for a fox cub to play so it is no surprise they share the same instinct for fun.
"Maddy's most favourite thing in the world is to chase after stones; she does have toys but prefers stones for some reason. Rosie, although not interested in chasing after a stone, loves to steal anything she can from Maddy.
"She waits until Maddy has the stone in her mouth then jumps all over her trying to steal it. There's nothing nasty about it, it's just the game they have developed. Often Maddy will turn around and chase her, which Rosie loves.
"Since Rosie has grown we have built a large enclosure for them both to run around ...

Out-Foxed: Rosie the Fox Really Wants Doggy Friend Maddy's Rock
It's not often you will see a hound chased by a fox but that doesn't stop this cute cub leaping after her doggy pal.
These hilarious pictures show the incredible bond formed between Maddy the dog and abandoned fox cub Rosie.
Photographer Richard Bowler captured the heart-warming action at his home near Corwen, North Wales.
They show six-month-old Rosie leaping after Maddy in an attempt to deprive the Lakeland Patterdale cross of one of her much-cherished rocks.
But Maddy, 4, often out-foxes her pal, even when Rosie tries a surprise flying jump attack from the bushes.

Otters fighting, Norfolk, Britain - 09 Mar 2013

A young otter chases its sibling.
Fur Flies As Otter Siblings Play-Fight
Fur Flies As Otter Siblings Play-Fight
Not usually spotted during daylight hours these juvenile otters make a spectacle of themselves as they play-fight in a river in Norfolk.
Spotted by British wildlife photographer Luke Massey after their screeching and splashing caught his attention.
Luke said: "Otters are one of the most difficult species I have ever tried to photograph, not only being hard to see they are incredibly shy so once spotted you have to be very stealthy."
He believes the otters were raised on the river and had recently been pushed out of their den by their mother as she may have mated again or given birth to cubs.
"The otters were chasing each other along the banks then jumping in to the water to continue play-fighting, it was really amusing to watch."
Over the past 30 years otters have fought their way back from extinction after they were nearly wiped out by pesticides and a dwindling food supply.
Now after one of nature's most remarkable comebacks, they are spotted in every English county.

Bald eagles aerial combat, Haines, Alaska, America - Nov 2012

A young eagle chases a mature bird in an attempt to claim his salmon
Fish Fight: Bald Eagles Clash Over Tasty Catch
A bald eagle is almost on its back as it rears up its talons against a swooping rival.
While two more of the predatory birds have a fierce high-speed battle in mid-air over tasty salmon.
These jaw-dropping shots of amazing battles between the birds of prey were captured last month by photographer Arash Hazeghi in Haines, Alaska.
He explains: "The eagles prey on salmon in shallow water by dragging them to the river bank. The locations where the river becomes shallow and narrow are best since most salmon seem to converge and then get stock in shallow waters.
"They will battle over salmon in mid-air at high-speed. The holder tries to fly as fast as they can to save the fish, the aggressor has to fly faster snatching the fish from behind and then dive below the holder."
Arash managed to get amazing shots of the birds aggressively swooping at each other.
"This is an interesting behaviour that happens in a split second when an incoming bald eagle buzzes another eagle that is standing on the ground.
"The attacking eagle extends his talons to hit the standing bird. The standing bird swings backward extending his talons to defend against the incoming bird. The defending eagle is in a completely inverted position."
He also observed the juvenile birds trying to take on their elders.
"The younger eagles have a few dark patches remaining in the head and tail areas. One tried to buzz the mature bird as he tried to claim his catch, but the mature eagle dodged the attack quickly."

Bee attacks and chases Red Admiral butterfly off echinacea flower at West Dean College Gardens, Chichester, Sussex, Britain - 18 Sep 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Mike Walker / Rex Features (1865982c)
Bee Off With You
This bully boy bee wasn't going to let a butterfly's prior claim to a flower stop it from muscling in.
The Red Admiral was happily basking in the sun on top of the Echinacea flower at West Dean College Gardens in Chichester when it was rudely interrupted.
Obviously spotting the choice flower as it flew past, the bee changed direction and landed next to the startled butterfly.
At first the brightly coloured insect stood its ground on the purple flower.
However, the smaller bee eventually triumph and sent its opponent packing.
Relinquishing its spot, the butterfly fluttered off to find a quieter spot to enjoy a snack.
Thankfully, that's something that shouldn't have been too difficult to do as the gardens are spread out over 6,350 acres.

Laughing zebras, an elephant blocking the sunset and a clapping baby penguin - Paul Goldstein has seen them all through his viewfinder.
And who would have known you would find a giraffe at the end of a rainbow?
The professional photographer and guide for Exodus Travels has witnessed stunning sights in his adventures in far-flung locations from the Arctic to the plains of the Masai Mara. This gallery offers a snapshot of some of his most stunning images.
Paul, 50, from Wimbledon explains: "I first picked up a camera when I was about 10 in 1975 and my first job in the travel industry was in '83. I started photographing seriously over 17 years ago. I was working in travel and I loved wildlife, so it evolved naturally.
"I lead photographic expeditions to the Polar regions, Kenya and India. During game drives I like to push people hard so they can get the most from their cameras, but without the camera dominating the safari. I don't want them to just record species.
"There's a huge difference between a snapshot and a photograph. A photograph suggests diligence, graft and imagination."

Predators Feast on 'No Man's Land'
These images take a fascinating look at nature's food chain in action.
Wildlife photographer Tom Schandy captured the grisly pictures of a dead moose providing sustenance to other wildlife.
Hiding out day and night on the border between Finland and Russia; nicknamed 'No Man's Land' because it is a popular feeding place for large carnivores Schandy secretly watched around the clock the dramatic wildlife event unfold.
Bears and wolves flocked to the dead female moose and feasted on its carcass until there was nothing left.
Schandy who was camouflaged less than 30 metres away from nature's wild feast told of a smooth stream of traffic to and from the dead moose.
He said: "During the course of the night eight bears and three wolves fought over the carcass.
"On occasion the bears and wolves would stand up to each other in order to get more of the fresh meat.
"Two of the bears even fought each other for the moose by standing on their hind legs and battling.
"Their roars sent shivers down my spine."

Fighting lion does a backflip, Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa - 21 Mar 2008
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Elliott Neep/Solent News / Rex Features (1480636c)
Brawling Lion Performs Backflip
This young lion performed a backflip as it escaped the claws of a vicious lioness who slashed it across the face.
British photographer Elliott Neep watched as the lioness approached a zebra carcass to feast with her two cubs in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
But juveniles from a different pride dared to come too close and the protective mother lashed out in anger.
Elliott said: "A lioness approached the scene with her two two-month old cubs bouncing around and running about.
"By this time there wasn't a great deal left on the bones because two pride males and the rest of the pride had had their fill.
"Three juvenile lions also moved into the kill but the lioness did not like this at all.
"She began growling and roaring at them, but they simply looked up and carried on eating.
"The cubs sat down in the grass as their mother went in closer.
"Across the carcass, just inches from each other, the mother and the juveniles snarled and growled even more aggressively.
"This time, the younger lions began to back down and edged backwards keeping their eyes on the lioness.
"One young male turned his back to leave then all hell broke loose.
"The lioness flew across the carcass, clawing and swiping at all three of them.
"They ran for their lives but the lioness caught one in the shoulder with one claw and it span around.
"With the other paw, she smashed it across the muzzle and it flipped over to release the claws now hooked in its skin.
"The juvenile can be seen spinning in mid-air, kung-fu style. The youngster got to its feet and fled, chased now by the pride males.
"The lioness stood riveted to the spot just shaking with fury. It was over in seconds.
"Just seeing the body language and pure rippling aggression in these animals is enough to give you chil...

Thomson's Gazelle attempts to protect fawn from Lappet-faced vultures, Masai Mara, Kenya - Oct 2011

One of the Lappet-faced vultures chases off the mother Thomson's gazelle
Nature at its Rawest: Mother Tries To Save Fawn From Vultures
These amazing images show nature at its rawest.
A Thomson's gazelle mother desperately tries to fight off vultures when her fawn falls ill.
But, despite repeated attempts to get close to the stricken youngster, her efforts are no match for the sharp beaks and claws of the predators.
The heart-breaking scenes were captured by wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes on the Masai Mara in Kenya.
The dramatic pictures show the mother making repeated runs at two Lappet-face vultures who are closing in on what they see as an easy meal.
At one point a vulture flies claws-exposed at the brave Thomson's gazelle.
But, unfortunately, her efforts are in vain and a colony of vultures descend to pick at the carcass as the mother looks on.
Roy explains: "These two Lappet-faced vultures found the sick Thomson gazelle youngster and flew down to get it. It was probably just sick, and could not get up.
"The mother was still around and tried to fight them off. She came back again and again, but eventually she had to fold and the scavengers took over. Within 10 minutes the young gazelle was gone.
"It was heart-breaking to watch as she waited anxiously nearby, waiting for the fawn to resurrect, but nature can be unforgiving."

Lynx fails to catch duck, Denali National Park, Alaska, America - 2000s
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony C. Gibson / Rex Features ( 1307582m )
Duck! Here Comes A Hungry Lynx!
Oh duck! Here comes a hungry lynx!
One bird had a very lucky escape when a sneaky predator made a swipe for it.
The wildcat had spotted a tasty duck bobbing about on a pond and, after creeping up through long grass, made a leap with claws outstretched.
But the duck wasn't daffy and made a life-saving flap for freedom as the lynx's paws narrowly missed its prize.
Photographer Anthony C. Gibson captured the dramatic scene in Alaska's Denali National Park.
He explains: "The park is covered with knee-high vegetation so the chances of ever spotting a lynx is near zero.
"Small little ponds are everywhere on the tundra, and we found this lynx stalking around one near the main road late in the afternoon.
"He would move in and out of the weeds along the edge of the pond for a while, and then he actually came out into the open on a little finger that stuck out on the pond, laid down, and took a nap.
"It had been watching a loon out on the pond, and the loon had been watching the lynx as well and had been staying out in the middle of the pond. I suspect the nap was an act because it would pop its head up to check on the loon.
"After it gave up on the loon, he went on the move going in and out of the grass again headed away from the pond. I picked up my gear and headed in the same direction.
"As I came over the top of the hill, the lynx was about 100 feet to the right headed for another pond that was just on the other side of the hill. It was at this point that I lost sight of him, as it had gone deep into the brush. However, there were two American Wigeon ducks feeding along the shore at the other end of the pond. At this point I decided to change positions and focus on the two wigeon.
"As soon as I got set up and focused on the wigeon the lynx exploded out of ...
