That´s it folks. This event took only one minute. The heron was able to land in the grass and the eagle had to give it up. I think the heron was safe on the ground as it can use it´s beak as a weapon then.
As a photographers point of view it was a pity that they came in back light making most of the images dark and noisy. But I will probably never see something like this again so I´m pleased anyway.

I hope you liked it too.


People are a bit strange I think. I have posted two images before and everyone feel sorry for the heron. Of course it is bad fighting for ones life. But as a reality of life I feel sorry for the eagle. It got no dinner. There are maybe a thousand grey herons in the area but only one or two eagles. And everybody love eagles, don´t they?
