Crane at sunset

A large bay on a calm evening at sunset - what could possibly seem more tranquil? 

To us humans that is.  Sitting watching this scene this evening I was struck by how different it must appear from beneath the surface.  To us, a beautiful evening with a solitary bird to complete the picture composition.  To the fish beneath a terrifying and stealthy hunter, getting harder and harder to avoid as the light fades.

Sadly for the crane, but fortunately for the fish, I didn't see any "kills" tonight.  Although I do suspect the crane's patience could probably outlast mine a thousand times over and this small but magnificent hunter is unlikely to have retired for the evening hungry.
