'A friend took these images last weekend near Stretham of a cormorant tackling an eel - and coming off second best. Apparently the cormorant couldn't subdue the eel, which eventually broke free and then attacked the cormorant, biting it around the chest (unfortunately the second photo is not as clear as the first, although by the cormorant's expression the eel's got hold of something! The eel then chased the cormorant, at speed, across the water until the cormorant took flight.' Geoff Barlow who submitted the images on Helen's behalf.
