Spoonbill chased off by Cormorant

Spoonbill chased off by Cormorant

This is the first time I've seen a Great Cormorant attack a Spoonbill to steal his fish.  It was successful too.

Agree! An interesting shot~ a fake "food chain"~

The Spoonbill is relatively inexperience (immature), and the Cormorant has jet propulsion facility to help it to increase speed.  Very funny picture!  Thank you.
