I know Herons are greedy sods but I was surprised to see this one have a go at a near fully grown Mallard.

Great if somewhat brutal series of shots! Gold's Duck Sauce might have made it go down a bit better...

A very good set, pleased to see the duck got away....

Reminds me of the video of a pelican trying to eat a capybara

There is a video on YT of a Pelican trying to devour an Osprey. Imagine the damage those talons and beak were probably inflicting...

Now I can't get Sesame Street's Put Down the Ducky out of my head.
