Nice Louie, I bet he beat that thing for a long time before downing it.
Thanks very much, and yes it did beat the heck out of it before swallowing it.

Nice pics of the efficient heron, Louie! It looks like it will be well-fed--for a while anyway.
I've really come to appreciate this year the heavy fishing pressure a group of herons can have on a waterbody--it's impressive.
Well done, TFS

Appreciate your commenting Kim, thank you very much.
Just saw this one Louie, glad I found it.... great shots of some GBH action!
I bet the GBH wanted that cat good and dead before he swallowed it... I've been finned by them when they are alive enough to flex those appendages, and the slime injection is quite unpleasant to human epidermis. Even dead, I would definitely want that thing going down headfirst, which most birds do instinctively, so the collapsed spines are facing the entrance not the exit. !

Hi Eric and thank you very much. I too have been finned when I was a young guy out fishing for whatever I could catch, not pleasant at all. Thanks again.
