    Default Grey Heron with eel

    Here are a few shots with an eel.
    He spent some 10 minutes tossing it and dropping it and waving it about and getting it curled round his beak to get it head first so the fins didn't catch in this throat before swallowing it it.
    He did swallow it in the end but that part I captured on video.
