Wow. Great shots in this thread. Well done everyone.
A little awkward moment for this egret (I am sure he has seen worse) when it tries to swallow this snake. Head part of the snake is already down the throat but the second half is still out and coiled around the egret bill.

The "Best of ... " thread is always enjoyable but I must say I am blown away this year. The images posted here are truly outstanding! Congratulations to each and every contributor. Q1 to Q3 were a 'flop' for me but some of my mojo came back in Q4. Here are two of the better ones:
Closing out 2015, what an assortment of great images in this one thread. Happy New Year to all, and looking forward to seeing more of your fine work in 2016!
