Unfortunately there was only one fish for the two young herons. Last image: the loser remains on the ground, wings spread and legs bent, while the second one has gone to swallow his catch.

Young herons have a truly magical plumage that I love.

Thanks to the SONY 600mm f4 GM, the quality of the light and colours, the full detail pictures are really crispy. See them here

Great capture. Food competition can get intense and sometimes ugly when there are multiple mouths to feed.

Thank you. In this case, as I mentioned above, the two young were of comparable sizes. The adult must alternate feeding between them.
