    Good series Joe, from my childhood memories, that looks like a Perch, I wonder how they manage to avoid being spiked.

    Your right Rolf it is a perch. It took him a few minutes to get it the right way round for swallowing.

    Great shots there Joe. Yes they have to swallow it head first so the fins don't spike it's throat
    Herons are beautiful birds. Some Herons wrap their wings right round them selves like an umbrella whilst fishing . Really a site to see

    Great series there, Joe!

    Love shots 3 and 4 in particular

    That last one makes the bird's neck look really weird - poor fish too....

    The last shot is him actually swallowing the fish.
