Great shots! I'll bet he had to work awhile to get that fish swallowed.

Incredible timing! The first shot really portrays the speed at which he was going for that fish. The second one is great, the white and blue background, it aslo seems like he is very proud of his catch!

Thanks for the nice remarks Bald. I think the timing was more dumb luck than skill :D lol, I hadn't even been watching the bird very long. I can't wait for more nice days like this (stuck indoors with rain all day today:cry:)

Timing and action here are great but I have to say the whites here are very warm overall and should have been metered under more on the exposure at least another third here. This looks like a Great Egret which is one very large bird.

Hey, for you it's sport, for him, survival! Great shots. I wish I could even get that close to the herons around here.
