This was a funny scene of a crow struggling to get into a milk carton. He dropped it a few times, but crows are persistent birds. I took a couple of shots, but don't think he ever got anything out of the carton. He was on a neighbouring fence trying his best, poor fella.
This gull flew in with the bream, about one foot above the surface, it was so heavy. Eventually, he dropped it and dragged it to shore where he enjoyed his mammoth meal!

Two Dakota & Iowa GP9's arrive at the yard at Hawarden, Iowa, after finishing work at the ethanol plant a few miles away in Hudson, SD with a lengthy 68 cars. Geeps git'r done.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

We watched this momma moose & her calf struggling in snow for meager bit of food.
I had to shoot from across the road. The snow on the other side made it difficult to get a shot.
This image captures a crucial moment. The snake is a common tree snake (Dendrelaphis punctualis) — often seen in sub-tropical locations and isabout 1.2m long and harmless to humans). The tree snake has found a frog in the well of a 'self-watering' pot at my Gold Coast hinterland home and sought to eat it. The whole snake has been inside the pot and has begun swallowing the frog headfirst while the snake's tail has been constricting the frog to make it easier to swallow. However, there are two problems. There is not enough room for constriction in the cramped well and the snake's subsequent efforts to pull the frog out of the pot well have failed because the frog held in the snake's mouth will not fit through the hole. At the moment captured the snake has just given up swallowing but the frog is still held in position by the constriction so the frog cannot escape and is in a sorry state. Part of the snake's tail now hangs out of the pot. After this moment, the snake slowly stops constricting and slides away to hide in another pot nearby to rest. I checked the status of the frog which was still alive despite both suffocation and constriction but did not seem well. I do not know what happened after that. The saga took about two hours. The snake is a common visitor in my garden and I expect to see it again soon. The future of the frog is not known.
