I’m experiencing this also. The ‘original’ male that was last to disappear over winter and first back in February has been bullied by a new male that came in a bit later.
What seems to have made things worse is then recently a smaller female turned up and both the males have shown a lot of interest but now if both males show up at the same time there’s always a fight. Unfortunately the original male is now walking with a noticeable limp.
I’m cautious to intervene, hoping its perhaps a bad bite and he will recover OK but if he’s been forced over awkwardly and broken or disclocated a leg then surely the best thing would be to try to trap him and get him to a rescue centre? Not sure what to do for the best.
