Birds Foiled Robbery

[etiennescamera]

The egret had to take rapid evasive action in order to get away from the heron, trying to rob it of its meal. This happened several times, before the egret managed to quickly swallow its prey, thus finally foiling the attempted robbery.

You could have posted this at Action subforum as well. Nice catch! (yours and his).

Indeed, super action shot!

The heron is a much bigger bird. Was the smaller egret able to be more agile?

Yes, the egret was quite a bit more agile than the heron, which is why it managed to keep its prey.

Nice action shot!

Thanks
