Excellent timing. I don't know how they swallow such a large fish. Amazing

Platinum

Yes, I captured the entire sequence of him catching the fish then trying to position it so that he could swallow it HEAD first. There is another bird near me (anhinga) that does the same thing but their neck is really skinny.

Moment outstanding here, but entire image is beautiful too. Colors and patterns of background - excellent.
