Highly commended – Snack time – I was watching a purple heron from a hide at Intaka Island one morning. They are extremely patient and precise hunters and can stand almost motionless for hours. I was however, ready for the strike with my settings when it happened and witnessed the heron catch this rather sizeable Mozambique tilapia. I would say both bird and photographer were delighted with their catch.
