One from today at Martin Mere, very cold wind and not a lot happening then suddenly all hell let loose, patience starting to pay off

small amount of sharpening after resizing, hopefully starting to get the hang of this now ?

Very nice behavior shot Steve, I guess the cormorant was faster

Nice shot.
I suppose the cormarant has succeeded finishing his mail. It seems he has some trouble swallowing it.

Good action shot but find its a bit to one sided in the frame.
Looks as though the colours could do with a bit of a lift as well.

An excellent capture, taken at just the right moment. Nice one.

Hope he didn't choke on a bone

Very well timed Steve, looks like the weather was as dull as over this side of the Ribble
