Observation details
Photographs are all of the same individual, which came close to my position while foraging. The prey items seen in the photographs all appear to be crabs. The photos include a sequence (8 images beginning with ML647519776) where it caught a large crab, then moved somewhat out of the water to eat it. In the process of this it dropped it and picked it up again several times. It then returned to where it had been to continue foraging
