Grass Snake Hunting
I love watching these hunt in the water.......normally you only get a brief hint of these as they swim across a river or pond. I happened to be sitting on a pond bank as this one swam-by, so got some nice views while it was looking for something tasty to eat. I've even seen these hunt underwater......foraging around in the sediment and leaves on a river bottom. I knew they could dive and swim underwater to avoid being seen, but this year was the first time I saw what looked like hunting underwater.
