As Mr Ceklic filmed the battle, the shag swallowed the snake whole however the creature could be seen trying to wriggle back up out of its beak to escape its clutches.
Despite nearly choking on its oversized meal, the bird appears to keep down the lunchtime meal.
Looking slightly distressed trying to keep the snake down, the video ends as the black and white shag’s throat shakes while trying to digest the food.
With a little lining in its stomach, the seabird wanders back into the ocean without waiting any time before a swim.
