The Two Kingfishers - Territorial battle or weird dance?

Spotted these common kingfisher moving weirdly. I couldn’t understand the behaviour of the two birds since both these are male birds and I’ve seen them hunting together in the following days.
Do check the video and let me know in the comments if you have ever observed such a behaviour.

Excellent video. This is territorial.

Thank you
Yes I thought so. I observed similar conflict a couple of times but it lasted less than a minute. Probably it continues until one gives up and flies away

Superlatively profound spectacle very professionally captured on camera... Appreciate your patience, eye for detail and aesthetics in capturing the unique ritual of the kingfishers... The clarity is very telling especially towards the end where the reflection in the waters is mirrored very adeptly... Keep up the good work and God bless you Irvin

Hi, both exemplars seem to be a male, so it could be from my point of view more a territorial issue. Greetings Josef

@joseftimar5087 Thanks for your view point. I too felt the same
