Unlucky pigeon tries to escape after being scooped up by hungry pelican, St James Park, London, Britain - Sep 2010

Peckish Pelican Swallows Pigeon
An unlucky pigeon takes its final look at the world - peeking out from a pelican's beak.
The little bird had been eating crumbs near a lake in St James Park, London, when it was scooped up by the hungry predator.
Adults and young children gasped as the pigeon tried desperately to escape for 15 agonising minutes.
At one point it looked like it was going to break free as the pelican opened its beak, allowing the pigeon to gaze out to the distance.
But the startled creature missed its opportunity and, after running out out energy, was swallowed whole.
Photographer Paul Mansfield, 44, captured the remarkable scene while on a day trip to the capital with his family.
He said: "I noticed a small crowd gathered at the side of a lake that was 'ooohhing' and 'argghhhing'.
"On closer inspection I could see what all the fuss was about.
"On the grassy bank a pelican had managed to gobble up a pigeon and an ongoing wrestling match was in full flight - taking place inside the pelican's beak or pouch.
"The pigeon was fighting for his life.
"The pelican would gulp and the pigeon would be sucked down and almost immediately the pigeon came up flapping its wings manically.
"The pigeon was wriggling this way and that, sometimes placing its head outside of the beak.
"The crowd was willing it to escape, with shouts of 'Come on, you can do it!'.
"Personally, I was willing the pigeon to break free.
"Others were rather shocked at what they were witnessing. The reaction gave it a dramatic 'Gladiator-like' feel."
Paul, from Brighton, East Sussex, added: "At times the ensuing battle had a calm, almost surreal, feel to it.
"During one such moment the pigeon stood inside the peak, head peering out, with its body silhouetted on the pelican's ...

Tern chick falls over trying to swallow a fish, New Jersey, America - 20 Jul 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jim Gilbert / Solent News / Rex Features ( 1210469c )
This tiny chick bit off more than he could chew after trying to swallow his enormous fish supper in one gulp.
The hungry baby Tern had waited patiently for his meal and, when it arrived, wasted no time in trying to gobble it up. But his eyes were too large for his little stomach and as he struggled to swallow the enormous bluefish he toppled over under its weight - It did however eventually finish it's meal.
Photographer Jim Gilbert snapped these incredible pictures in New Jersey, USA.

Big Fish Dinner Causes A Tern-Over
These wonderful pictures show a tiny tern chick biting off a bit more than it could chew after its mum presented it with a fish for its lunch.
The adult tern swooped in with a young bluefish in its beak to feed its four fluffy youngsters who were waiting on the sandy beach below in New Jersey, America.
The greediest of the brood got to the catch first and proceeded to cram the fish into its beak, oblivious of the fact that its meal was not all that smaller than its own body.
With eyes much bigger than its bird belly, the baby tern managed to squeeze the fish's head into its craw before realising that it wasn't going down much further without some serious effort.
At which point the cheeky chick promptly overbalanced and fell over.
Not to be deterred, it struggled about on its side as the fish gradually slid down its throat, leaving the chick feeling more than a little full.
Fortunately, mum was there to sit over her protectively as the long process of digestion took its course.

Seagull steals food from puffin's mouth as part of mid-air mugging, Farne Islands, Northumberland coast, Britain - 26 Jan 2010

Seagull steals food from puffin's mouth as part of mid-air mugging, Farne Islands, Northumberland coast, Britain - 26 Jan 2010
POUNCED UPON PUFFIN LOSES MEAL
This puffin got a shock when it was the victim of a mid-air mugging by a greedy seagull.
These outstanding photos capture the moment the gull swooped in to snatch a haul of sand eels from the puffin's beak.
The puffin, which had worked hard for its beak full of eels, was taken totally by surprise during the airborne smash and grab.
Unable to fight off the larger bird, the shocked puffin simply dropped disappointedly to the ground as the black headed gull made off with the majority of its catch.
Amateur photographer Lee Davis managed to capture the aerial ambush as he was taking pictures of puffins on the Farne Islands off the Northumberland cost.
According to Mr Davis, 26, he spotted the puffin flying round the headland, presumably taking its catch back to a hungry family.
He added: "Just as the puffin flew close enough for me to get a shot, I saw the gull swoop in from above.
"The gull managed to snatch a load from the puffin's beak and the poor puffin dropped straight to the floor.
Mr Davis, a mortgage adviser from Leeds, added: "Puffins leave the nest for a couple of hours at a time so that could have been the result of a fairly long fishing trip.
"Black-headed gulls on the Farnes sometimes mob puffins in the hope they might drop a few sand eels - but it is very unusual for one to actually make impact."

Heron bites off more than it can chew after skewering 2ft pike, Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, West Midlands, Britain - 06 Oct 2009

Heron bites off more than it can chew after skewering 2ft pike, Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, West Midlands, Britain - 06 Oct 2009
HUNGRY HERON GETS MORE THAN A MOUTHFUL
This hungry heron almost bit off more than it could chew when it tackled a fearsome pike measuring almost 2ft on a British waterway.
The grey heron was hunting for smaller fish when it spotted the pike below the surface and lunged for it with its razor sharp beak.
It managed to skewer the mighty fish - but then faced the bigger problem of how to swallow it.
The bird hauled the fish out of the water and then flew across a small stretch of water before devouring it in three attempts.
The dramatic shots were captured by wildlife photographer Tom Melton, 49, at Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, West Midlands.
He said: "I was actually photographing kingfishers at the lake when I spotted the heron hunting.
"He was catching little roach and perch but then I just saw him lunge at something and come out with this massive pike.
"The heron skewered it with his beak and there was an incredible struggle as he tried to fly off.
"The heron flew to the other side of the lake and took the fish into some bushes but I could still see what was happening.
"He seemed to lever the fish up with his beak and then he flipped it up and into his mouth.
"Normally herons swallow fish in one go but this took him three attempts before he could swallow it."
Dad of two Tom said the heron was enjoying some productive hunting because lower water levels meant the fish were congregating in the deeper water pools.
He added: "This made it easier for him to catch the fish.
"But it was still remarkable to see him take on such a big creature. It must have been almost half the size of the bird.
"I do a lot of bird photography but I...

Kingfisher and a Pike hunting for prey at Strumpshaw RSPB Reserve, Norfolk, Britain - 10 Oct 2008
NATURE'S SNAPPERS SNAPPED
This is the amazing moment when an amateur photographer snapped two of nature's fishermen in action at the same time.
Perfectly encapsulating the idea of 'survival of the fittest', a tiny kingfisher can be seen at the bottom of the photo with a fishy dinner clasped in its beak.
Meanwhile, behind it, a pike leaps out of the water in an attempt to ambush a fleeing shoal of roach.
The image was captured by Brian Macfarlane, 73, who took the shot at Strumpshaw Fen in the Norfolk Broads.
Brian had originally gone to a hide on the reserve to try and picture a visiting osprey.
The picture he did finally capture is the product of several hours spent watching the small roach jump out of the water as they were chased.
With impeccable timing the kingfisher then flew past, allowing Brian to get his perfect snap of nature in action.
"It was a pure fluke to get the kingfisher and the pike in the same frame. You could sit there for weeks on end and not be able to manage it," he comments.
