There is a colony of cormorants in a huge tree at Fen Ditton but I don't often see them on the water, especially not close enough for a decent shot. Today Monty was walking so reluctantly that I actually had time to put two hands on the camera and this one out of several shots taking off has past my 'good enough' focus test - just.
Three GT:
1. My friend's son, Thomas, doing a jigsaw wearing an upside down pair of pink sunglasses and a pirate hat.
2. Back inside before the heavens opened.
3. Off to London for my birthday tomorrow.
Best large if you're willing.
Great capture - don't often see them flying - seem to spend most of their time airing their wings round here! Love the reflection too. Happy birthday for tomorrow!
Good capture I never have my camera when it is needed. Happy birthday for tomorrow anywhere nice in London for you. Lord Mayors show tomorrow I do hope the weather gets better.
First Happy Birthday for tomorrow Judith...sounds like you are doing something special anyway!! I se you are back to the DSLR for this photo.....I haven't used mine since I got the new one but do still like the features on the large one.. Taken this cormorant on take off beautifully! Hope Monty isn't sickening for something!!!
