This struggling fish made one last upward flip before the Heron finished him off. It seems like the smaller fish are immediately gulped down but the larger ones take a bit more finesse to get them down head first. I’m always amazed at the efficiency of their fishing abilities.

The GCNH shot with the fish is one of your better ones (and that’s saying a lot!). Every detail is so sharp and crisp.
Thanks Mike.
