Amazing capture here too! That looks like a big snake (do you know what kind?) caught and not too happy to be staring down its captor's throat! So does the bird really manage to win the battle and gulp that whole thing okay? Does the snake put up a good fight, if eaten does the unlucky prey get swallowed wriggling/twisting all the way down as well?!

It is a common water snake and was approximately 3 to 4 feet long. The bird actually shakes the snake prior to swallowing it. Not sure what happens when the snake goes down the throat.
