Cannibalism

I captured this behaviour last year but it was so far away, I had to crop my image a lot. I was looking for another opportunity this summer.

 

I first saw this guy further away in the pond (image already posted). I waited for it to come closer but it just disappeared after waiting quite a long time. I decided to walk around and when I came back I could hear it at a very closed range. It was in the middle of the reeds right by the shore and fortunately managed to have a very small window. So I waited for it to sing again. That was another hour and a half until it jumped to catch this baby frog. This image was cropped on the right inside because of the reeds as it moved almost in front of it. I waited another hour or so for it to sing again so I could capture the vibration at a closer range (image to come).
