Egret Versus Worm

It had rained the days before we arrived so water covered some previously dry areas. The Egrets were spending a lot of time probing in the mud and extracting worms. However, the worms did not succumb easily and wrapped themselves around the closed beak forcing the Egret to drop the worm and the quickly retrieve it from the water, toss it and swallow very rapidly.
