Hammerkop 1 : Frog 0

[Stan]

Shot in the walk through aviary at Marwell, the hammerkop was playing with the frog for a good 10 minutes before swallowing him whole in one gulp. Not the best light or background but something a bit different

thought it didnt look right

Mentioned he was "playing" with the frog but on investigation, it would appear that he was cleaning it before eating
