Wow, nice series.

I'm glad I am 6' tall. Imagine facing a Heron if we were the size of that vole!

Great series, how much time did you invest that day before you caught this action?

That's one dirty little rat. You would think that he'd wash him off before swallowing him.

Looks like I need to invest in some patience, any chance Adorama has some in stock? I'll bet Amazon has some, I'll check there.
