Wild goats fighting, Lundy Island

29.07.2009. I stumbled upon these two goats already engaged in a fight, as I was walking along the west coast path of Lundy Island. After filming for several minutes the fight seemed to end for no obvious reason, though presumably the goats themselves had established which was dominant. The white goat seemed to emerge as the dominant one (possibly maintaining its dominant position), despite having apparently been on the back foot earlier on. After the fight ended, the third goat, which had been watching, went over to the white goat and begin licking it (I will upload a separate clip showing this).
