Gluttony vs harassment -06

Common Merganser drake (Mergus merganser) steals the catch of a gluttonous hen that had been trying to consume this enormous goldfish/koi in Munson Pond, Kelowna, BC. FWIW, I had no idea such huge goldfish existed here!! The story is worth the limited quality of this distant panorama, methinks....

 

 

In the end, I think she managed to recover and keep her catch, but the fact that the photo is ambiguous on that point makes it all the more interesting, don't you think?
