Thanks Sachin! Was able to observe the behaviors of both male and female very well.They continued doing what they were in spite of being a little uncomfortable in my presence.

Thanks Joshua. After it was done swallowing the fish it immediately started splashing and bathing and finally relaxing.

It must have dived continuously for at least 45 minutes before it got lucky!Must have been very hungry by the time he caught the cray fish!

Cool feeding spotting, Emma!
