Good morning for fishing

[wigz]

Not great photos as all are heavy crops, but I saw a several birds catch fish during my morning at Tygum Park on Monday.

1. This darter was between me and the sun, but it swam around for a while trying to deal with the fish, and I managed to get this.


2. Little Black Cormorant.

3. This darter was a long way off on the other side ot the lake, so this is an extreme crop. That looks a decent sized fish. I lost sight of the bird after this.

All excellent shots of birds doing what they do to survive. The fish in #3 does look to be a decent size, makes you wonder how the darter can manage to eat it.

I believe that they are at their most vulnerable from predators when trying to swallow their catch.

Looks like he has just swallowed one before as well. A full crop. Nice to catch some action.

All great action shots Alan. Cropped or not they are well framed and displayed. #3 has a problem with getting his beak free to eat that fish, he really did a good job of spearing it!
