I think the silly bugger( a green heron I think) is trying to soften the bread to break and eat and misses the very obvious opportunity until the fish has eaten most of it!

Thats amazing , Animals are still evolving.

These birds stand still at the water's edge and wait to ambush prey, but are easier to see than many small heron species. They mainly eat small fish, frogs and aquatic insects. They sometimes use bait, dropping a feather or leaf carefully on the water surface and picking fish that come to investigate
