Having once caught this heron at work, amazingly we spotted the heron successfully fishing yet again last week. This time though, it was having some problems. Apparently it caught a carp this time rather than a sunfish and it was apparently a bit bigger than it realized...





Having some issues with swallowing its catch, the heron flipped the fish around so it was sideways instead of upright. Still no luck though.





That photo below is the heron thinking "I've got an idea"



Apparently if food is sticky you need some water to wash it down. So it dipped its head in to try again!

Herons are such funny birds, they do everything with such humour.

Wow, that is a legitimately gripping drama. I kept thinking, "Surely the bird knows how much it can swallow without dire consequences," but that carp is SO LARGE.
