Fantastic, I really like the combination of movement in water but super sharp bird.

Great! :toast:

err, isn't this a shag and not a cormorant? bill looks too thin at this angle and there is vestigal head crest....... :confused:

Hi Guy

I really like this image - some shots just appeal instantly and for me this is one of those. Being picky in the extreme, I'd be tempted to crop off the bottom to remove the vegetation and balance the composition more. Great shot.

Cheers, Chris

Hello MIke.

Thanks I have had a closer look in my books and you are quite right.

I,m not really a bird photographer, but I do enjoy it when I get a chance. So I hope you'll forgive me if I make some mistakes on the I.D. some times.

All the best Guy.

Great composition Guy. Like everything about it, but especially the movement you caught in the sea.

Love the comp and the concept is super.... would love to see it with a slower shutter speed... probably very hard as it is a handheld shot,

Superb shot Guy, no nits from me. The swell really adds life to this one and the colours are spot on.
