A great egret from earlier this week has a bemused expression on his face since apparently the fish he just swallowed went down sideways and appears to be a bit stuck.

He eventually got it down fine but things were rather interesting for a few minutes.

The poor thing. He does look quite a bit uncomfortable there. Great photo, Phil.

How they get all those fish down that long neck is nothing short of remarkable.
