I didn't even realise they hunted rodents, beautiful bird and shot.

 

[Digger...]

Can he really swallow a gopher with the thin neck?

Very nice shot!

Can he really swallow a gopher with the thin neck?

Yes, rodents, snakes, ducks, anything they can fit in their gullet... check YouTube if you want to see some shocking videos.

Can't watch kills ect, even David Attenboroughs stuff when they show the kills i hate it spoils the show tor me. Ive got a pic of a Currawong that caught a water rat at the reserve on file, but i hate looking at it.

Didn't really enjoy taking a pics of it either. Might post that up this morning for the forum and then im gonna delete it.
