Cormorant

Taken recently. I was watching this cormorant swimming along hoping he was going to leap onto this branch and he did not disappoint, was a fair crop though but something different.

It is certainly a quirky pose and different shame it was a fair crop though would have been good to have some more detail

Hi Peter

You anticipated this behaviour well which is to be commended. However the cormorant just doesn't look sharp enough to me but it is very nearly very good.

Here is another
Looks like a disco dancer in this one

PS, Andrew it was a heavy crop and he was moving very quickly, hence lack of detail
