A wildlife photographer has captured a dramatic picture - of a bird pooping on another.
Tuan Vo captured the action this month as a pelican let its feelings be known about being pursued by a peregrine falcon.
Shooting at Torrey Pines State Beach, La Jolla in California, Tuan says: "During the breeding season, the peregrine falcons are so protective of their young ones.
"Any bird flying close to the nest will be looking for trouble from the female peregrine falcon.
"In this photo, the pelican was being chased by the female peregrine falcon.
"As it was so scared, it pooped while getting away.
"I was able to capture this funny moment as it looks like the pelican is pooping on the falcon's face."
