    Alistair, what an awesome photo!!! Underneath the heron rookery at Balfour there are some boluses, but it is sure nice to see the actual predation event happening, rather than just the aftermath!! Cheers, Marlene

    High drama in the animal world…Great shot!

      Ferne, I wonder if there is any realization on the part of the vole that in one minute’s time the view will not be of the heron’s eyes, but of its digestive tract.
