This is the bird I spoke of in an earlier post. It didn't actually make this catch a dinner as despite numerous attempts it couldn't quite swallow it which surprised me as the bird pictured in my previous post (heron with flounder) ate what appeared to be a bigger fish.

Hi Robert,
Nice image with great colours and razor sharp. Not sure about it's eating habits but I have certainly seen Heron's take fish this size before.
Nice shot
Regards
Rob

Very nice, great detail on the feathers, and I like the ripples in the water!

Another very fine Heron shot Robert, feather detail and sharpness are both excellent
