Heron catches Toad .

Spring seems to be on its way and I saw a Heron at the Swans Pond today. One of them was on the far bank and I managed to film it catching a Toad.tell me in the comments below

GREAT

[@johnb9825]

Not a toad.. that's a frog (bull frog, leopard frog). Toads are terrestrial, frogs are aquatic.

Herons have very good eyes to see under all the debris on the water. Amazing bird

[@joecorrero6763]

A bullfrog, not a toad. Those herons are voracious predators

[@Fishingandwildlifenews]

they sure are dear friend many thanks

[@patrickkeefer8678]

What is it with people mixing frogs and toads with each other? Sure they are very similar except for frogs jump and toads hop, frogs have to stay moist or else dry up and die, toads go off far from water. They all reproduce back at the pond but if you image search frogs and toads, they are different.

Actually, the duck might have helped the heron by making the prey expose itself to the heron.
Poor creature swollen down! 😦
Nice capture. 👍

A "Hoppy Meal" for the Heron.

[@nature1upclose]

Excellent close ups, my compliments.

[@kansasross]

Yes, they do eat frogs and fish and ducklings and gophers and snakes.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Herons are great stalkers which combined with the frogs one-tracked mind in spring makes them reliable and easy prey. Great video :)

[@Fishingandwildlifenews]

i so much agree i am planning on filming lots more herons stalking this summer thanks for your support and kind words and comments !! its much apprieciated.

[@PrincipledNaturalLaw]

Birds are ruthless.

[@sbailey4891]

Oh my Go just eat the poor thing😫😫

[@raylopez99]

If you are a smaller animal that can fit in the heron's gullet, you do not want that steely-eyed bird's undivided laser like attention! LOL that's death stalking!

[@esmithiii2003]

That's a frog, not a toad.

[@Fishingandwildlifenews]

Are you sure its a Frog ?

[@sammcdonald769]

That is not a toad that is a bullfrog. No heron in its right mind would dare eat a toad. 🙄

[@Fishingandwildlifenews]

[@verocimil]

Cruel nature!

[@Fishingandwildlifenews]

i agree as they would say thats nature life and death , thanks for your support and comments dear friend !!!

[@verocimil]

@@Fishingandwildlifenews Thank you for your answer and support as well, and for showing compassion, because even if it is the way of nature, we must not be unaffected by it and simply take it for what it is. Even if we cannot change certain things, we can feel indignation nonetheless and compassion and sorrow for those who are suffering. Where there is cruelty and suffering, there is cruelty and suffering and it doesn’t matter how it is caused and by whom it is caused. I cannot be complacent and indifferent to it and am glad for you stepping in and showing your empathy to those poor creatures too.

If a heron has a few potential meals he/she kills all -my pond was emptied of frogs and fish in one visit
