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.

If it is a fake it is a superb one. I wonder how the bird’s cloaca will feel if the bird is able to pass the skull! Fish bones are more pliable.

It is real, was in the news in the Netherlands lin 2006.
And it’s not that rare, I saw one eat a small waterbird earlier this year.
