These photos show the amazing moment a frog escaped from the jaws of a grass snake on a golf course - and narrowly avoided being eaten 'whole in one'.
Golfer Lindsey Henniker-Heaton, 68, was on the 10th green when his friend Philip McMenamin called him over to the 17th.
He arrived to find a 3ft grass snake trying to consume what looked like a dead frog.
Lindsey got his iPhone out and started to snap the event when the amphibian kicked into life and escaped the clutches of its reptilian rival.
The battle took place at Thornbury Golf Club in South Gloucestershire, where Mr Henniker-Heaton is the seniors captain.
He said: "I was playing a pairs match against Bristol Golf Club when Philip came running over to see if I had a camera.
"I lay down on the green and managed to get a photograph of the both the frog's and the snake's eyes.
"The frog looked dormant and Philip[ thought it might be dead but then I saw its throat move.
"The frog croaked into life and managed to jump out. It looked tired and Philip picked it up and put it in the grass nearby.
"I have never seen anything like it on the golf course."
