Great Blue Heron and Gopher

I've witnessed GBHs stalking and killing gophers several times before.
This time I anticipated the event and set up for the shot.

Cool shot! I have some sequence shots of a GBH eating a water rat (or something similar, it was hard to tell). They will eat anything!

In Hyde Park London they eat a lot of rats, sadly I have never photographed it.
