I saw a bird...catching a fish!!

Emergency extra post - just had the best lunch break ever...(well, best lunchbreak in a while, anyway): I walked down to the Swan River, which runs right through the city centre but is surrounded by parkland and so doesn't feel very urban, and was sitting on a bench contemplating the expanse of blue water before me. Then a big, white bird surfaced and hopped out onto the bank a couple of metres from me, a live silver fish in its beak!! The bird was about pelican sized, and the fish about the size of a large goldfish...the bird dropped it onto the grass where it flopped around, then seized it, shook it a bit and swallowed it!

That certainly broke up the work day!!
