The answer is to swallow it head first because of the spiny dorsal fin. Mrs Smew caught two while I was watching her on Killingworth Lake. The first went down without any problem.
On the second occasion she was turning the fish round when she was ambushed by a black-headed gull and had to dive to avoid losing her catch.
Good series of shot. I must remember to learn from redhead and take more care in positioning food.
