Amazing capture! That looks like a big (do you know what kind?) fish caught and trying to make a desperate escape here! So does the bird really manage to win the battle and gulp that whole thing okay? Does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten does the unlucky prey get swallowed wriggling all the way down as well?!

Thank you so much Kyle! Not sure on the fish and yes the bird won this fight. He swallowed the fish down whole and not that the fish didn't fight back!
