Goliath Heron fishing, St Lucia Wetlands

How to eat sushi,  an expert’s guide!

Whilst travelling in a boat along the St Lucia Wetlands in South Africa,  I was able to get the following series of images of a Goliath Heron catching and eating its prey.    The Goliath Heron,  as its name suggests,  is the largest of Africa’s heron species and was unconcerned by our boat passing slowly by.

Yes,  I realize that image 3 in the series is missing.  On reviewing the images,  I felt it was close enough to one of the other images as to be redundant.    🙂 Click on the above image to explore the South Africa image gallery. ~KD.
