Amazing footages! That first fish looks like an especially big fish (do you know what kind?) the bird caught! The fish was struggling, but the hungry Egret managed to fully consume (alive?!) it all okay? It looked like the unlucky thing was desperately kicking sliding down that long throat! I wonder, does the large fish stand any chance of escaping if eaten in that condition? Maybe it can turn around inside the elastic throat/stomach and has a chance of survival here.
Unfortunately, I don't know the name of this fish. I think it's already half dead when it's swallowed and the bird's digestive juices do the rest of the work...
