I give up, too big for me (Egretta garzetta)

This heron (Egretta garzetta) after several attempts to swallow the fish gave up . Nikon d850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 800. The birds are free in nature. Thanks for the your comments.

Well, it is better to give up than get choked, ciao Sandor

Well said Sandor , thank for beautiful note

Mi piace molto...amico mio

Hi GG,

 

this image is not only beautiful, but I think it's funny too. You can see the hesitation in this egret's posture. It's going to try to eat it somehow, or another bird will steal it. Kind regards, Vincent

Grazie mille Mehmet

Thank you Vincent for your beautiful interpretations of this heron's behavior

I'm surprised no one else has tried to take it, Giangiorgio. Excellent colors, light and composition. Greetings, Paul.

Many thanks Paul for your beautiful notes. glad you liked it

I like how is seen and posture that fit with moment when can not eat smth so big.,also blur bg crates a nice visual effect .All my best Giangiorgio.

Has a real upset look........ (so much food and not being able to eat it.....)

Nice capture. Best regards, Wobby.

Grazie mille Wobby for your nice comment

Thanks a lot Radu for you beautiful appreciated comment

Looks like an old lady guarding the family lunch, beautiful, of course and more than that! Extra technical quality! Complimenti, mio caro amico! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment

Remarkable dramatic story, Giangiorgio! I wonder if the heron can leave the fish or give it to someone and not get upset? A magnificent genre picture of bird life, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana I'm glad you liked this photo, and for your curious question. In fact the fish was then eaten by a great white heron
