The thief is always in action. (Egretta alba)

The thief is always in action. (Egretta alba) It is easier to try to steal the prey captured by another than to try to capture it by itself. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800 mm, f / 5,6, 1/1600 sec, ISO 360. Thanks for your comments

Great genre scene, Giangiorgio! Your photos and Google explained to me that among Egretta alba, theft is the norm, even with enough fish! Bad education! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thanks a lot Tatiana for your beautiful comment, I am glad you liked it

Nice dynamic aerial ballet with the thief leading the dance, ciao Sandor

Many thanks Sandor for your very nice comment

"And the dish ran away with the spoon." Thanks, Giangiorgio, for entertaining us once again. Fortunately, it's a fabulous image, not just a fairy tale. Sadly, the original owner of the fish seems to be losing the battle with the thief inasmuch as the image portrays it as flying full speed. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!
