Help me please !

Ok so l know this is’nt the most stunning capture but l only had one shot of this in fading light, this cormorant had been down for quite sometime and came up with this poor fish who was going to be a dinner snack,he had to throw it in the air and spin it round so he got it going down head first,the fish was madly flapping his fins but nothing saved it from it’s ultimate fate!

    Great timing, and quick capture. I know luck can be with you somedays, but it took skill to capture this so clearly. Commerants are really amazing creatures. I use to see them when I lived in the south, so I also know how quick they can be. Good job.

    i agree with outdoors2, we are all our worst critics, yes i see what you mean, that poor fish trying to take its last struggle for freedom, but it is his fate for the cormerant to eat him.

    Very Cool, talk about the right place at the right time, True I follow birds around so much LOL and I am trying to develop a way to trigger them to do this for me LOL I think I will have to try a fishing rod and go fishing for a bird and a great capture if I could be so lucky
