Description
-
Prespa Lake is full of different wild animals and species. This artwork is about a majestic giant bird called heron. While exploring the area, I encountered these birds near the beach, and mostly around the lake algae. They are quite similar to cranes including their diet (snakes, bugs, frogs etc). This moment was quite unusual and disturbing. It looked just like a human fight, or as I named it, a Brawl. The heron was having trouble and struggling with a giant snake. The interesting part was the snake struggling for its life, and putting a lot of effort to resist. But after a while, the majestic bird dominated its prey, and won the brawl, while biting the snake from different angles and parts. I cannot explain the intense situation with any additional words. I think I did my best to caption this morbid situation, and I was really lucky to watch the whole event from a few meters away. Simply said, just a mother nature moment that is rare to be caught.
