Darter |
Series of shots showing a Darter after resurfacing with a fish spiked on its bill.
Seeing something like this, can you tell what it is? Clearly something poking out of the water's surface, but what?
Looking at it sideways helps a bit...
Here is the solution - a Darter spiking a fish. As it heaves to turn the fish, its body comes higher out of the water (click on image for larger version)
From this angle it is obvious that the fish had been spiked in a different spot first, before the Darter started to turn it around...
... and yes, despite the apparent difference in width between the Darter's neck and the fish's size, it does fit in - amazing! (click on image for larger version)
