| | | Cormorant & Caught Fish
These were taken this afternoon at my local park pond and the fish gobbling was way across the pond, I was using my Canon EF300mm f/4L IS USM +1.4x - the 1.4x was used to try and get in a bit closer - don't like using it because I lose another stop, f5.6, 1/1250s, ISO 640 - the light wasn't up to much
Just before his dive 
Bringing up the catch 
Flipping it up to swallow 
Going... 
Going... 
Gone! 
You can see the fish in his throat 
Afterwards the Cormorant landed on the island and just let the fish go down
