A dramatic clash between birds of prey and waterbirds has been caught on camera.
Wildlife photographer Jack Zhi from California, USA, filmed various birds battle it out in his home state.
In one clip Jack captures the rare moments of great crested grebes fighting in front of a turtle.
In another clip a peregrine falcon takes on a brown pelican.
He also documented a peregrine falcon taking a post-battle bath to cool off after the encounter.
Jack described one sequence: “Down he goes! Sorry, got photo bombed by fishermen at the end, but I consider myself lucky to have even observed it. Lol!
“Happy mom taking a bath and shower to stay clean”
Viewers praised his work, with one commenting:
“Such a unique and elaborate courtship display. Love the clip!”
While another wrote: “Superb and brilliant! What an excellent job to keep the action in frame continuously.”
