Good boy, a Grey Heron catches a huge pike.

A Grey Heron catches a huge pike. Filmed in the Netherlands near de beautiful place Kinderdijk.

Goedemorgen Lieve Natuurvriend .. Dank je wel voor het delen .. ja die Blauwe reiger krijgt inderdaad grote vissen en andere diertjes naar binnen .. geniet je dagje en verder weekje met lieve groet Stirn Ven xx🤠🐿⚘🦅🦜🐞🦋

[@NuwanW]

Een zeer nette prestatie van deze reiger!

[@MichaelHarrisIreland]

Couldn't risk it. If it didn't go down the pike's spikes would make it impossible to get up again. I imagine he'll come back later and try again. He was sipping water to lubricate his throat for the swallow, but even that didn't work.

[@CatherineBoone]

Reiger weet heel goed wat hij gevangen heeft en dat eten zij ook. Heel mooie opname. Vriendelijke groet Catherine

Nothing goes to waste in Nature. That pike will provide a meal or two for something else.

[@snowman5202]

With a big fish sitting there, the Heron is starving. Ironic!

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

I was totally expecting that bird to swallow that fish! I was thinking: This is going to be great!! Let's se that heron turn in to some kind of elastic balloon... Then the unexpected happened! The heron was defeated!😅🔥

Gaaf hoe die zijn bek gebruikt als een speer. Ik wou dat ik zo'n snavel had. Lijkt of ze wat water gebruiken om de boel beter door de keel te laten glijden....

[@dayfree2485]

Klopt. Reigers drinken geregeld als ze een prooi naar binnen werken. Een mol maken ze soms even nat. En achteraf drinken ze meestal ook een aantal keer.

[@taekeplas578]

Q0

[@derekhaydon4656]

That is a SMALL pike. A decent pike would try to eat the heron. I can remember a report of a pike being found, that had swallowed a fully grown swan up to it's body. The pike probably could not regurgitate the swan, because of the direction that the feathers face as they grow. This was over 50 years ago, and possibly in the Easton Evening News, the local paper to Norwich, Norfolk, England.

[@fruittybanananas8812]

ze kunnen ook hazen en andere konijnachtigen naar binnen te werken ook al zijn er ook reigers die het hun leven heeft gekost doordat ze te gulzig waren.

[@georgehunter2813]

Pike is a terror. Heron is a terror too. It's just bio-mechanics in action. The heron's larger leverage frame build dominates the pike's jaw and tail power. Mouth and throat keeps drying out. Got to rewet it before swallowing.

[@routman28]

Et finalement il l'a avalé ou pas ???

[@devisdief]

Dat zijn ogen groter waren dan zijn maag is wel helder. Maar het was niet in Friesland, maar in de Alblasserwaard 😉. Ook een uitgestrekt veengebied trouwens.

[@edwarddeitch8886]

Fascinating how the heron keeps wetting it's beak. Displacement reaction?

[@lizsteeds6697]

Oh ... come on ... sluicing off the gore from its beaktip from its repeated impaling technique used to "kill" the pike. Notice the small run up and head repositioning to get maximum drive and thrust. Sometimes they repeatedly dunk and wet avian or mammalian prey to help lubricate them for swallowing whole too ...

Waarom spoelt die steeds zn bek in het water?

[@devisdief]

Dat doen reigers vrijwel altijd. Na de maaltijd een slokje water om de bek te spoelen. Zouden mensen ook wat meer moeten doen.

[@montbrehain]

Gotta be a set up ? That fish is as stiff as a board and dead as doornail. Easy catch for the bird i reckon..

[@faerieSAALE]

Heron eats a huge fish. Heron is satisfied with a full belly. Heron then takes off and flies to its nesting tree about 1/2 mile away. A Nissan Tundra pulls out of a car wash sparkling clean. The owner is happy as she sips a mocha frappuccino. She leaves the car wash to go to her home about 1/2 mile away. Heron flies over the road and drops a massive a load on the shiny Nissan below. "Kushsplat" disgusting nasty Heron poo all over the car. Sure am glad elephants don't fly.

Have mercy with the poor birdwatcher and filmer who did not succeed in finding the optimal location 😇. Sometimes herons choose bad positions.
