Hi, This is what I call The Catch of The Day for this Great Egret. And Lucky me I was there. When I saw the GE walking very carefully into the water I start shooting and then boom. The battle began.

Here is the complete serie of what happens. At the end the GE did not eat the whole thing.

    What a great series! And not to sound stupid, but what the heck kind of fish is that? Best, Pam

    Nice shot. I am always amazed at the size of fish they can catch.

    Hi Pam, You are not alone, I have no idea and I'm still searching.

    Great Capture, not sure what kind of fish that was either, when blown up is there enough detail to help in identification?
