Great Cormorant

Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)

This bird is one of my favourites, in the characteristic wing drying pose, a nice way to see their plumage.
The perch is one of the steel piles in the Discharge Channel from the Otheense Kreek to the Western Scheldt, a perch favoured by Cormorants and Gulls.

Wonderful view of this fabulous Cormorant drying its wings. Excellent pose with its wings stretched out and its head looking back at you. Superb work Kees!!!
