Can do search on "pelican eating a pigeon." That finds what I believe to be the
one Mark is referring to. Actually many bits of film and photos of this on the
internet. For example
https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enAU751AU751&q=pelican+eating+a+feral+pigeon&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwioh5m069DgAhXHQ30KHVW4DDEQsAR6BAgDEAE&biw=1280&bih=882
Plus herons and gulls eating ducklings, lots of raptor stuff, etc, it goes on
and on. Most are probably genuine, combined with often puerile comments, some
bits of film are clearly contrived.....

There is a classic video of a pelican (can't remember which species) in
one of London's parks grabbing and eating a feral pigeon in front of a
lot of horrified people. The sequence is quite eye-opening.
