Double Take

Out for a walk and in the distance I noticed these two pied cormorants. Couldn't make out at first what it was, so zoomed my camera right in and spotted this.

It was a bit hazy across the water so not a terribly sharp shot.

What a wonderful shot and what a find to stubble across, I assume they are Mr and Ms Cormorants?

[Krista]

Perfect timing- love the symmetry. Great capture, Babs :)

[Yao RL]

what a precious moment, They made a pattern many people dreamed to draw.

[alia_801]

Hehe! Nice capture of their funny pose!

[Babs]

@joluise Could be. Not sure if they were trying to kiss each other and missed!!

[Babs]

@tillycarter They looked like a pair of book ends!

[Babs]

@yaorenliu @alia_801 Thanks. It did look a bit strange when I first saw it.

[Alaya]

great capture

[Judy]

Interesting :) Love that "zoom".

[Laurie F]

wow... very interesting

[Rachel]

Well spotted and great timing.

[Karen Dex]

The timing of your shot is great... Love it

[Scott]

It's like precision nuzzling! Great capture!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Are they not speaking to each other? ;)

[Derek Vickers]

Wow, fantastic shapes Babs. I great spot and capture.

[Custodia Baptista]

Lovely shot!

[Babs]

@alaya @lafish @tryingforsighs @dekky740 @custodiabaptista Thanks. I couldn't figure what it was at first in the distance. @judy365projectorg They were quite a way off so the zoom worked really well I think.
@sbolden Ha ha. I thought they had planned to kiss each other and missed!!
@humphreyhippo @derekvickers Thanks. I suppose they could have been on the look out for breakfast. "I'll look this way and you look that way."

Brilliantly done Babs, Well spotted.

[Gena Pegg]

OH BABS! I love this! FAV! What a wonderful catch! This one makes me smile!!!

[Raye]

Instant Fav! Awesome image, excellent composition!

[Babs]

@gamelee Thanks Lee.

[Babs]

@sunraye @onewing Wow thanks so much for the fav. I didn't think it was that good. It was a bit hazy and the birds were a long way off, so I had to zoom quite a way. It looked really weird when I first saw them. Thought I had found a new species of bird!!

[Gerry]

Great photo Babs fav

[Babs]

@gerry Thanks so much for the fav Gerry. You really do boost my confidence.

[Sharon]

They look perfectly in sync - well captured!

[Babs]

@goosemanning Must have been together a while they are doing the same thing as each other.

[Elaine]

What a great find and capture, they seem to be enjoying each others company. I can't believe how behind I am on your project, hopefully caught up now.
