Sonya Voggenreiter, Red Belly and Frog (ANIMAL & NATURE 2020)

I was doing a routine boundary fence inspection when l came across a Red belly Black Snake holding on to a frog, the movement the snake and frog did was really quite amazing to watch, glistening in the sunshine under the willows. I was not prepared for such sight, so on returning with my gear l wanted to get close but not too close, selecting the 300 and 600mm lens's. l thought it will be well and truly gone by now; but it stayed in the same area a short distance away from the boundary fence, not to alarm Red Belly l kept my movements very slow, Red belly was very occupied with what it had captured but after moving a short distance to a dry creek bed it must of decided that the frog was too big and in the end let frog go.
