I was sat fishing today, and on the far bank there was a Heron stalking the shallows, it stabbed at a fish and I saw it take out a small Carp about 2- 3 lbs (guess) once it had it in its beak it walked it up the bank onto some grass and stabbed at it several times more before it stopped flipping. It tried to pick it up to swallow it head first but couldnt manage it. Eventually it went back to the edge to try again.Some crows moved in on the fish so I guess it didnt die in vain. The Heron did the same thing with a similar sized fish not more than an hour later.
Any one know why they take fish that are too big for them to eat ?
