  • Story of the image

    I spent the night in the hide at Shompole Wilderness lodge in Kenya. Early in the morning, this hamerkop came hunting for frogs in the pond in front of the hide. It caught this one and spent some time bashing it on the ground, tenderising it enough so it could be swallowed.
