good catch with nice details and compo ....what's that in the beak actually ..doesn't look like fish ?

[Ofer Levy]

Fantastic action and behaviour shot!!!

[Phil Battley]

It's probably a lugworm, and a good one at that!

Well done Gavin! That is one neat image literally! Love the prey and comp. Angle is super!

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely light, water and BG, Gavin. Great catch with the prey - looks like a substantial meal.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Nice light, timing and water. Love the angle. Especially love the water squirting out the end of that worm.
