A Sharply Skewered Snack

Simply amazing to see one of my favourite birds hunt and feed on a sunny day. Simple pleasures.

Shot with the Tamron 500mm SP mirror lens and a lot of luck!

Nice. Amazing the fish can be consumed with a single gulp. (I understand that a single gulp is endemic to birds ... but ... that a big fish!)

Great sequence Wes. I like the first shot which shows how the bird is is using its wings as a shade to better see its target.

Thanks Beth, hitting that moment when the fish was being consumed really made the moment for me.

Tony, I hadn’t considered that observation about the wings- remembering back how the heron was behaving, that absolutely matches.
