Thank you for watching. I think it is interesting because members of the Redstart family have their unique behavior.

ご覧頂きありがとうございます。モズは尾をクルクルするところがよいです。野鳥たちには、我我も生態系の一部であることを教えられるような気がしますね。

That's right, thank you for watching.

Thank you for your attentive watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry I don't know the kind of fish. When I found this heron, it was already holding the fish. The heron's lower bill was piercing the fish, but I don't know how it happened. As for the chance of escape, it is extremely rare, but apparently, there has been a case where a snake eel that was swallowed by a heron broke through its stomach wall and escaped, although I have never witnessed it directly. It is surprising.

@@BirdsOfJapan Oh interesting! That must be some hungry bird! Still, it seems difficult to me how the Heron deals with this particularly large fish! So the bird was actually able to fit (swallowed alive?!) that whole thing down its long/skinny throat completely somehow?? I have never witnessed an event like this before. I feel somewhat perplexed over how it actually happens, wouldn't the fish stand a chance of escaping or even damaging (it’s sharp fins, wriggling, biting, etc.) the bird's throat/stomach if eaten in that condition?! It’s hard for me to imagine that the potential meal (wouldn't the prey also go into a desperate "survival mode" once it realized that it hit the stomach?) doesn't turn around inside the elastic gullet and how the bird can keep down/digest such an object with no issues? I don't have much knowledge about these events and am mostly curious, I appreciate any feedback/explanation. Sorry for all of the questions, you have some other neat shots too, have a nice week 😀

I would be honored if my video sparked your curiosity. I'm an amateur birdwatcher and I don't know if I can satisfy your curiosity, but I'll try my best by expressing my opinion based on what I've watched. When a heron swallows a fish, it always swallows the head first, but it doesn't seem to pay attention to anything else. Sometimes they easily swallow larger fish than the one in this video. It is also possible to swallow prey that is thicker than the heron's neck, and when this happens, the heron's neck can be seen expanding to the shape of the prey. The heron's digestive system is so powerful that it is almost impossible for the swallowed fish to survive. Thank you for your comment. I hope you have a wonderful week too.

Thank you for watching.
