On our walk around Minsmere we approached the sluice area near the find to find a Little Egret vs Eel struggle going on and the winner was to be expected......
The Egret let the Eel go.
And then decided to have another go to swallow the large Eel.
Let go again .... obviously far too big to swallow but .....
Lets have another go...
Letsbturn it over and see if it fits better...
And the winner is the Eel, Egret gave up and flew away. Could n't see if the Eel survived. Amazing site watching the Egret turn the Eel always to try to swallow it, not sure it would have managed to fly it had managed .
Whose bum is this this?
