Beautifully captured natural behavior. This image shows the true power of that pointed bill. Thank you for identifying the prey as I noticed it was furred. Voted.

And I thought they just ate fish! Great timing, Ton! Nice catch!

Super image Ton. I've never seen them eat mammals but knew that they will if they can't find their favourite dish, fish & frogs.

It seems they will eat anything they can. Great shot!

Just perfect picture of the heron in feeding action! Great occasion and great work! The heron is a lovely bird to picture especially in snow. I have a gallery with that subject! Welcome to visit!
