Heron catches, drowns and swallows rabbit

Image...
A series of dramatic photos (see link) taken by a wildlife photographer show this grey herron clearly catching, drowning and swallowing the bunny. Though herrons usually eat fish and have been known to eat the odd mouse, no one had ever seen one catch and eat a rabbit before.

Apologies for the slightly older story (it was dated end of September), but I couldn't find it on Current and though people would appreciate.

The photos oddly remind me of Watership Down and teh Bunny Suicides both at the same time...
