Sometimes birds take prey that seems too large for them to eat. Attached photo shows a weather loach held by an ibis and a Baillon's Crake with something I cannot identify. The ibis swallowed the weather loach while it was still alive (see https://www.hbw.com/ibc/1562747 ). The crake ran into the cover so I don't know if it ate its catch (see https://www.hbw.com/ibc/1562929 ). Large yabby's are also eaten by White-necked Heron (see https://www.hbw.com/ibc/1194105 ). I know that there are photos of pelicans with very large prey but I thought I would see if people have photos/observations of other species with very large or unusual prey. Steve Attachment:
