Tony, super profile shot of the heron with prey. A very good full frame photograph. (If I said I would like to see more of the face of the fish, you could tell me to go look at your last heron shot.)  :wink:

Great close up of this behavior. It is amazing how a fish this big will still go down that small throat.

Nice close up shot. I have seen herons swallowing some huge fish.

Both of your heron images in this series have been well done. However, I prefer this one as it gives such a nice profile on the heron and the fish is still quite visible. Nicely composed for full frame.
