[Leica] Cocoi Heron Fishing Sequence

[Henning Wulff]

A wonderful series Jayanand, but something comes up in my mind...

I always hate it when food gets stuck in my teeth. It looks like the heron has the same issue :-).

Our herons hereabouts (same species, apparently) do the same thing, but I've never caught such a great sequence. Well done!
