Mom offered this meal(a bass) over and over but no takers as the chicks couldn't handle the size. So, right back down the gullet for more digestion.

I like this one. Nice view of all three birds with some nice light.

Mmm lovely - nothing quite like semi digested bass though I think some kind of white wine sauce would be preferable. It is remarkable you managed to get such close up detail, it is not often we see so clearly into the lives of these birds.

LOL Yes Jonathan, now we know how these birds can thoroughly digest whole fish. They always swallow head first and it looks like only the head was in the stomach before this offer. Can't wait to see your grey herons progress.
Peace,
