Pied Cormorant

I was walking along the breakwater at the marina today and saw quite a few people fishing. Then I spotted this pied cormorant in the water hoping to get to the fish before the fishermen did.

A great close up of this beautiful sea bird.
( I think they don't get a frost here either. People used to do that then they became sweeter. Now there are species that no longer need that. Only a gourmet could notice the difference.)

He didn't manage to steal any fish off the people fishing but one chap did throw him some offcuts after he had gutted a fish he had caught.
