Yes, he was pretty proud of the fact that he was going to have a big lunch, except in the 3rd photo from the top, when the snake made several attempts to bite him.

Thanks all for IDing the snake. The heron did put the snake down several times but as far as I could tell it was alive when he swallowed it. Unfortunately I only had a 400mm lens (equiv to 640mm with crop factor) and it was all happening a long way from me.

Below is a full frame shot of the action taken on the Canon 7D with 400mm lens.
