With feathers flying, the two birds locked beaks as they started to fight it out over scraps of food on a bird feeder, in Merseyside, Liverpool
When twitcher and nature photographer Steve Ward put food out for his feathered friends he said he had no idea that it would encourage bird brawls
Luckily the father of three was on hand with his camera to capture the starlings as they battled for their share
