Western Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis ibis) dipping and eating a one-day chick, 2020-05-23

Quite a sizable prey for a bird the size of a cattle egret, but based on what I have seen egrets and small herons do before at zoos, they can usually swallow these chicks after some smacking around and dipping.
