Grey Heron with Snake - Stay Safe

[Sabyasachi Patra]

This large bird often snatches prey from the black-headed ibis. Life and death struggle goes on all the time here. This is an interesting shot showing who the dominant bird is. Wing spread of the bird has come out well. And since the grey heron head is turned the side profile of head is visible and so this image works. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice live scene captured so beautifully. Food of egret, ibis, heron etc includes, inter alia, frog, insect, small reptile like keelback .....
I am yet to come across any information when such bird encounters baby monocled cobra or krait which are venomous.
