Hi Daniel,

Excellent photos of high reference value.

Is it a live Little Egret captured by this raptor? Or this raptor eating a dead bird?

Pls advise.

I must admit, I thought it looked like the eagle was carrying an avocet.  

Now I can't workout what it is!

Dear both, this is an avocet. I will show you another photo about the catching time later, though the photo quality is quite poor......

The leg looks like a Little egret. anyway, many thanks.... Captain

Imperial Eagles have been eating Avocets all winter, seems likely that this is one.
