Snake makes a run at a GBH

Geez, this is an amazing series of pictures! Great job!

That was fantastic !, now if the snake had gotten away, (or finished off the heron ) I think you could have replaced those "never give up" posters that feature the frog and the heron.

Excellent !

GREAT SERIES!! How fortunate are you to have seen it, sweet!!


Love them all but the last one is my favorite.

Sweet action shots!!

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments on this series. It's funny how when you're out shooting, sometimes the most unlikely shots become the most revered. When I saw the GBH in the field, he was so far from me I knew any shots I took of him standing there would be nothing exceptional, especially with the lousy background.

But when the bird slowly began crouching way down low--this changed the possibilities and I knew something was about to happen so I kept my lens pointed right at him. I started shooting when he lunged for the snake. Right place, right time. Glad so many of you enjoyed this series.

Wow!!! These are great. You were very lucky to be there and able to keep your cool.

Very cool series

Wow, fantastic series to say the least of this brilliant action. I knew they eat almost anything but this is a first I've ever seen/heard of this lol. Very lucky and great work.

Thanks Duane, Eric, and Wayne for your nice words. Very much appreciated!
