Hungry gull,
in Coeur d’Alene Idaho,
doesn’t believe in catch and release,
and never feels too full to fly!
Yellow billed stork in Kruger National Park catches catfish at Sunset Dam,
and needs a leg up to swallow it whole!
Cheers to you from your feast & fly feathered fowl friends~

No fish too big for gulls … well, maybe. 🙂
I’m sure if they catch more than they consume, other gulls would be most ready to help them! 😉
Wow! Sushi! 😉
Wild creatures of all sorts love their sushi! 😉
Fantastic shots!
Thanks much Rebecca დ
Incredible photos! I bet the bird enjoyed his feast
He certainly didn’t linger long in satiation! დ
Great shots!
Merci beaucoup mon ami დ
Horsefeathers! That’s astonishing, Cindy. Terrific photos. Hugs on the wing!
Fish scales and feathers!! Happy you enjoyed Teagan & hugs back to you დ
Oh, my. You have really captured these birds at rare moments. I’m lucky just to see them near a shore or landing! Love these pictures.
Much appreciated & so happy you enjoyed them დ
That’s impressive! I was riding a bike on Sanibel Island once and looked up to see a bird (I think an osprey) with a bird in its mouth. I was so interested in it that I almost rode straight into a light pole! You were wise to simply stand still and take photos!
I completely relate. It is an amazing sight to see the technical skills of birds swooping down from the sky to snatch wiggling fish from the water. დ
Awesome blog. I like it, wow.
Thanks much & lovely to meet you Raj დ
Wow, did he swallow that whole?
✨☀️🙏🕉️♾️☮️🙏☀️✨
Yes he did! And to top it off, he flew immediately off. I was flabbergasted to say the least.. ✨☀️🙏🕉️♾️☮️🙏☀️✨
Wow, I can imagine – you’d think he’d need a bit of a rest after such a feat!
🙏✨
I was actually concerned he wouldn’t be able to breathe, before he took off, breathing 😉
He needs a longer leg to swallow the fish? I guess he doesn’t like sharing. 🙂
He does need a longer leg!! Laughing…. He definitely wants this fish for himself! 😉
Ahh…I see your gullfriend here is pretty gullible! LOL! Specktacular shots as always, my friend.

Laughing….. Your clever comments always make me smile ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪
Keep smiling, my friend! (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ
I will, everytime I read a comment from you დ

Superbe !
Honored. Thank you very much დ
Wow…what a catch !😮
It kinda puts those beer bellied men with big marlin in their place doesn’t it 😉
🤣
Great shots, Cindy!
Beautiful birds!
Grazie mille Resa. Hope all is well with you დ
So far, so good! დ
დდ
Bon Appetit!!
Merci, vous aussi! დ
Cindy, thank you for these remarkable photographs!
Thank you Charles for being such a thoughtful friend დ
Gulp! Beautiful photos, Cindy!
Thank you Jennie, and thank the gull, he made amazing pictures! დ
It takes two, one with the camera and one in front of the camera. 😍
Awwww, thoughtful of you Jennie დ
💕
He could have shared it with me..MOL😸Pawkisses for a Happy Caturday, Cindy🐾😽💞
He is clearly selfish that he didn’t, or, he just might have been really hungry! 😉
Did not think that gull could handle that fish. You would think that was his meal for the day or week.
He definitely would need to burb quite a bit…. 😉
Fantastic shots. Thank you. Can’t imagine the gastric juices the seagull has to digest that whole fish… with scales and bones.
Incredible to think of, and no antacid! 😉
Incredible! I can’t believe that bird swallowed that large fish. Your photography is superb.
Awww, thank you Beverly! დ
You are welcome. 🙂

The colours on the stork! amazing I told George pink and green went together naturally.
Who are we to argue with Mother Nature!! She clearly knows best 🙂 დ
Thank you Cindy for the like. 🙂

I could spend all day watching the gulls fish for dinner while vacationing at the beach. We had a couple of herons that often visited our yard looking for dinner in the lake behind our last house. Even though to us, they looked like they “bit off more than they could chew,” nothing ever seemed too big a catch for the heron. Great photos, Cindy!
The catching is impressive enough isn’t it, but the swallowing is beyond credulity! 😉
Very nice pics
Thank you!
Thank you very much დ
Thank you, Cindy. 🙂
დ
Terrific as usual Cindy!
So kind & so appreciated! Be well my friend დ
Quite a mouth full LOL
And stomach full! I couldn’t believe he could still fly. დ
Thank you, Cindy. 🙂

wow!!! amazing😵！！！
Grazie mille!
