    It´s my perch! Get away!! SF

    A scene, not unusual here; the number of poles is limited, and when all the poles are occupied the game is about to begin!

    Sea crows (and Shags?)

    I think nr. 3 from the right is a Shag. He seems to have that perky forward-curled crest at his forehead. If so, this is my first shot of one, although probably not the first time I've seen one. Not a great shot, but I thought I'd share it in hopes someone can confirm (or disabuse me of) the...

    Cormorants - awakening

    Cormorants - awakening. I have just spent two days going to the Somerset Levels, it's been 2 & 1/2 months since I last went. That's how busy you get when you retire. Lol. This was taken at 07:30 this morning and it had obviously been their bed for the night. It was so peaceful.

  15. Cormorant Sextet

    Cormorant Sextet

    One more I like to share: in winter 2010, I visited the nearby town Hulst for a photoshoot, in wintry conditions. In a pond I saw a mixed congregation of birds, including this Cormorant sextet.
  16. Roosting Cormies

    Roosting Cormies

    These mostly appear to be young Cormorants, judging by the white underparts. This loch is many miles inland but they do seem to like that tree, there's always some on it. Kinnordy is only a few miles away as the crow flies and although I often see some there, there's never the numbers...

    Fun and Froliks

    Here the cormorants are enjoying themselves with synchronised flying and landing. They would just fly from one end of the lake to the other, settle down for some time before taking off together again.

    Our City Lake

    This is another scene from our city lake.This group of cormorants would dive, surface and swim together.
  20. Our City Lake

    Our City Lake

    This is another shot from the lake on the outskirts of our city, which I visited on 22nd. It was heartening to see a variety of water birds including herons, egrets, cormorants, coots and ducks in the reasonably well maintained lake. The cormorants are at the far end of the lake. Of course the...
