you hit the nail on the head with Herons, i have come across them straight away and had the shot but more often than not i have been acting like a tree for hours before i got the shot or not got the shot, they are so unpredicable, thanks :)
 
Some cracking action there! The most i've seen them do is scratch their heads. Well done (y)
 
And i thought my diet was dodgy! Jeezz! lovely images mate, should make them into one big print!
 
Tell me it didn't manage to swallow the duckling! :eek:
 
Amazing shots, really really good!!

I've watched these birds whilst out fishing and it's truly shocking/amazing what they eat sometimes. I once watched a pair plucking ducklings from the nest. That was really sad, but at the same time, that's life and nature doing its thing.
 
It certainly has a varied diet, great set of shots.

unfortunately he did Gramps, took him a good 5 mins or so to drown it then swallow it, was stuck in the neck for quite a time apparently as a friend saw him later in the day and said he didnt look too well, the duckling was near the size of his mother (tufted duck) :(
 
Holy sh.....

Utterly amazing images, and even more amazing, I had no idea they ate these sorts of things!!

Incredible work :clap:
 
Excellent shots. I am always fascinated by herons and did not realise they ate other birds.

Certainly are fascinating shots. I have seen herons in flight pluck ducklings from water, land, then swallow them.
 
Nice collection you've got there.
They'll certainly eat anything but I seem to recall seeing a photograph sometime last year where one certainly got it's comeuppance, a White Tailed Sea Eagle fancied a bit Heron for dinner.
 
Absolutely brilliant, wildlife never ceases to amaze us!
