Here are the photos Jennifer Leung took of a Burmese Python with its coils around a Pond Heron on Po Toi last Sunday.
At this point she became upset at watching the death of the heron, to say nothing of being within a few feet of a large python, and understandably left.
My thanks to her for allowing me to show these incredible photos on the website. Author: John Holmes Time: 19/05/2011 17:42 Subject: Feeling the squeeze
Not nice for the CPH, but what a fascinating aspect of HK wildlife !
These are truly remarkable shots! Some of the most interesting that have been on the forum.
When Jen showed me these pictures, I went to the area immediately and found the feathers where the bird had been caught but the python had already left the scene. I suppose the python would prefer a more private place to swallow its prey.
