A RABBIT comes to an unhoppy end – by becoming lunch for a HERON. The 3ft bird, famous for plucking fish from water, chose a new course of action after seeing the black bunny pop out of a hole. The grey heron grabbed it and flew to a pool. Then it held its victim underwater to drown it – before gobbling the rabbit down whole. Wildlife photographer Ad Sprang, 56, said after snapping the scene at Vianen, Holland: “Herons often catch fish or mice, but a rabbit was a surprise. It wasn’t easy to swallow.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1748631.ece |

COULD this helpful heron be the answer to Britain's pest control problem? The bird was spotted chomping down a huge rat in Buckinghamshire. Herons mainly eat fish but don't turn down a furry meal when they spot one. They usually go for mice but this one had obviously missed it's breakfast and decided to take on a giant rat. And it looks like it won. Herons are popular in the UK and average at about 3ft in height and have a 6ft wingspan. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1769289.ece |
