This was a bit of a grab,as it appeared out of the reed bed, only just managing to fly with what I would guess is a 3lbs Tench, it FELL! in to reed bed very shortly after I took this and I assume took the rest of the day to eat and digest it.......you have to feel sorry for the fish though??

Hi Stewart,
Just sent you a PM about the Falconary Centre.
Anyway very good image indeed, I like it a lot, you seem to always be in the right place at the right time when it comes to capturing waterfowl eating fish!!!
Try and catch up soon.

Brilliant! And given the slimey nature of the average Tench I'm amazed it managed to hang onto it! What a great moment to capture.

Wow, never seen this. Exposure looks great and processing looks good on my monitor. Very nicely done

Brilliant - some grab shot Stewart
If you can just lift the detail a bit more under the left wing it'll be even better
