FISH AND BIRD TANGO

A trout manages to escape the jaws of a hungry cormorant - only to find itself back inside the bird's long beak. Balancing on the predator's feathered head, the fish almost escapes. Luck, however, was not on the trout's side and seconds later he was flipped back into the air before being swallowed by the cormorant. This moment was captured by American photographer Andrew Lee, 52, when he spotted the slippery fight on a trip to Long Beach, California.
