Kat, this is a fabulous shot. How long do you camp out to get them? I love how the eel has twined itself around the beak and the fact that the head is facing you is just PERFECT.

Marvelous image!

Good shot. The eel reminds me of the poster that shows an egret trying to swallow a frog, and the frog has both front feet wrapped around the egret's neck.

That's fabulous, Kat! For a minute I was worried that it was some kind of ring stuck on his bill. Thank goodness I was wrong about that! Great capture. =)
