A fishing crow. It just flew down in front of me and picked this fish out of the water! Right place right time.

800mm handheld

Looks like he got him a flunder. Crows are so cool. I've had several as pets over the years. If you ever have the chance, get one. ;)

Never seen one in water though. Nice shot.

Thanks. My Dad had a pet crow when I was a kid. I only remember it vaguely but I do recall that it died after getting itself tangled in some string or wire.

Thanks Rob. I was pleased it came out because I was set up to take some shots of a curlew when this crow landed so I made a few quite movements and took the shot.

Very cool shot. I'd have never thought a crow would do that.

WOW, you are right, Damian. I have not seen a crow caught such a big fish, or any fish for that matter. Nice capture and thanks for sharing this rare crow behavior shot. :)
