A distant shot of a Grey Heron holding on to a fish any angler would be proud to catch. In the end after holding it for 5 mins he lost his grip and the fish got away.

Female Pheasent!
You didn't leave answer.
potchad?
l love these 'who am l's'

Great Heron and Pike shots....surely the Heron could not have eaten that pike far to big.
Hi Glen. I said the answer was below, It was a Carolina. I think it was to large for the Heron but I was surprised that the Heron was able to subdue it. The only time the pike struggled was when the Heron thought about adjusting it so it could be swallowed.
Carolina??
Hoping to try and digital scope Tawny Owl over the week end.
Thinking about the Heron and Pike...vultures manage vast amounts in weight.
The best time to take a photo is from late morning onwards as the sun is on the bird by then.
