Re: PESO: Grey Heron
There is a very impressive account on Instagram called nature_is_metal which is a collection of videos and photos of things happening in nature that do not give you the warm fuzzies.

Re: PESO: A strange looking bird
Interesting bird! The body looks sharp but the head doesn’t; I’m guessing that they don’t hold still very much. The highlights are also rather intense. I always enjoy your photos of the flora and fauna in the opposite corner of the globe!

Re: PESO: Grey Heron
A bit gruesome but that's nature for you. I have never seen anything like that - the ones around here all seem to survive on tiddlers.
