I'm with tigger if he can get that down his neck he deserves it, what a bird indeed.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

you can't blame the match anglers for throwing that one up the bank and leaving it to rot.

A lot of the time some birds eyes are bigger than their beaks as often they can't get their catch down the hatch :rolleyes:

I agree - amazing!

 

The most amazing part to me is the strength of the beak grip - imagine how much pressure is required to hold a squirming pike that size fresh out of the water.....and having such a long bill, there is also a mechanical disadvantage working against the bird.
