The Heron's Lunch

Brr, it's cold today

 Feels like lunch time

 If I wait here long enough it may come to me

 Yes!  Didn't take long

 Gulp - that was a bit hard to swallow

 Mmm... - that feels better

Where's mine?

Photos of the heron taken near the lakeside cafe at Trentham Estate on Tuesday.  Photo of the Little Egret was taken further round the lakeside opposite the heronry.

    I think I commented in the wrong place so starting again! It's lunchtime here too. A wonderful capture of the heron swallowing the fish and also good to see the little egret.

      I was lucky to catch the heron with it's fish. The little Egret has been on the lakeside for the last two winters and seems to be at home there:)

    Amazing capture here! Wow that looks like a huge struggling fish caught here! So was the bird really able to win the fight and gulp that whole thing down her long/skinny neck entirely okay?? Does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten, does the unlucky fish get swallowed alive as well?!
