I got to the river just as this Cormorant surfaces with an oyster toadfish ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_toadfish ). It played it a while and swallowed it head fist and then flew away.
Small juvenile Eastern Frogfish (Batrachomoeus dubius), approximately 9cm long.
This is only the second time we have seen juvenile frogfish. The last time was in March 2017, when we discovered a nest with lots of baby fish (as per the video youtu.be/VMSLsMRMwX8 )

I was listening to Brothers in Arms on the radio in the car today and really enjoying it. Do men just reach a certain age that a genetic maker goes off in their blood to make them start liking 'dad music'?
Also, Ange straightened my hair for a laugh, so I thought I'd take a snap as I liked it. I came out looking like Ricky Gervais in all the pics though.
Fab.
I look like Ricky Gervais, Johnny Vegas or Toadfish off of Neighbours. Oh the sex appeal!
In other news, almost up to date with season 5 of Lost now.
Working late shifts near the end of Feb so will try to do some writing and get a bit of fiction up on the old blog.
Oyster toadfish mostly live within and around oyster reefs, as well as wrecks, debris, rocks and other dark, secluded places. Above, an oyster toadfish is caught during the Rod and Reef Slam fishing tournament held at the site of a restored oyster reef on the Choptank River on Oct. 7, 2017. The tournament was hosted by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to highlight the return of trophy fish species that rely on oyster reef habitat in Chesapeake Bay.

98E03572 (30 September 1997) -- KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- An oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau), like those that are part of the Neurolab payload on Space Shuttle Mission STS-90, is shown in its holding tank in the Space Station Processing Facility. Each fish is between eight and 14 inches long. Toadfish live in an estuarine environment and are native to areas along the Northeast coast of the United States. Investigations during the Neurolab mission will focus on the effects of microgravity on the nervous system. This fish is an excellent model for looking at vestibular function because the architecture of its inner and middle ear are similar to those of mammals with respect to the vestibular apparatus. (KSC Number 98PC-415)
These fish are apparently only found in Cozumel. I was told afterwards that just to the right of my camera shot, there were juveniles - somehow I missed them
