Enjoying a leisurely wade in the waters of the Dutch undergrowth this grey heron decided to go in search of lunch when he came across this unsuspecting black rabbit.Undeterred by its size, the grey heron, the largest bird of its kind in Europe, swooped down and gobbled the rabbit up in one mouthful, as these pictures show.
Just when I was enjoying all this beauty on your site, you had to give us the sad part of nature...
Dont forget, even YOU will not live forever! Thats the way of life, its hard but the true and you know it!
yeah nobody likes to see rabbits getting eaten by herons these days... its just plain wrong. Im sure that herons could easily survive on a diet of cous cous and soya beans. Why kill that poor creature then? I think its immoral... herons are evil.
