I could see this Heron had spotted something so pointed the camera and he struck,not sure who was suprised the most as he caught two fish at the same time.
He looks bit scruffy soaking wet so not sure about this image,keeper or bin

Definitely a keeper. Very unusual with 2 fish like that.

Hi Barrie

Most definately a 'keeper' a bit of a head turn would have been good and also this would have given better lighting - but still a special shot!

I'll have it if you don't want to keep it

Definitely a keeper Barrie. Might be tempted to lighten the fish/beak a little.The heron may be a bit scruffy - but heh how many smart fisherman do you come across

The two fish make this one a keeper I reckon.

Hi Barrie it's not bad I would keep it, but three fish would have been better.
