User's notes

The two bull ants were sighted locked together in a fight with the slightly larger ant pushing the smaller one over a considerable distance. Both ants eventually resorted to trying to sting each other, as seen in the final image, after which they spilt up and took off in different directions.

Great photos Tim - probably ants from two different nests which are too close for comfort! Cheers, Jon
