Very nice- shows how the bird flipped the fish so it could be swallowed head first.
Nice shots- thanks for sharing.

We went to our local state park today, and saw this heron finally get a fish after 4 unsuccessful tries. As you can see, he first spears it, then pushes it off his beak with his tongue. He then flips it in the air, catches it and finally swallows it.
Please see download for detail. Thanks for viewing!
I included a severe crop as a last photo to kind of show it from the fish's perspective.
