Great set - the fish looks way too big for it to be able to get into its mouth

Great shots, i didn't know they hunted pike which themselves are predators

Fantastic capture.

I've seen a pike take a duck before but never a 'bird' take a pike.

amazing to see a heron use its beak as a spear

Well caught I never realised they took such big fish - I've only ever seen them catch stickleback-sized things!
