Defiance (Phalacrocorax carbo)

A Cormorant was further off-shore on a line of rocks that was about to be swamped by the in-coming tide. It appears he's determined not to move .... think he's trying to better King Canute LOL

Yesterday's puzzle well done those who had a go. As you all saw the Ringed Plover on the right and the Turnstone in the middle (I wasn't actually including the Gull LOL but those who got it can have it!! But there was another Turnstone, hunkered down, right next to the plover, behind a whitish stone and just looked like another dark stone.
