Superb set, Herb.

such a rare behavior to see Snowy egret get killed. The gull is so aggressive. Excellent capture.

Lovely set Herb, and interesting predation sequence. Those gulls are huge! And the snowy egrets are slight, and smaller than I thought. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words Ken

Beautiful set, all of them are fantastic. My personal favorites are #1 and #9, but I also think the predation sequence is superb. Great work!

Thanks for the picks

On the predation, wow that's a first for me also!!! It really is an impressive, if disturbing, sequence

Great photography herb and the ending was quite unexpected. I never expected to see a gull take on and an egret and win

The photos are stunning herb, but the predation sequence is unbelievable! I've seen black-backed gulls grab puffins before, but I can't believe it took an egret. It's hard to imagine that an egret has any defences against that.

Thanks a lot for stopping by Harry

Magnificent heron set and good catch of the attack, which I wouldn't have thought of happening, Herb.

Stunning work Herb and what a sequence with the egret and seagull. I've never seen that situation before and didn't realize that a gull would attack an egret.

Thanks a lot Louie

Super shots Herb. The predation shots are tough to view (as nature sometimes is) but the quality is undeniable. Well captured

Thanks Morris. Me neither, but the beak size in comparison shows how much more powerful the gull is than the snowy egret.
