Cormorant in a tree

I looked up and saw what I thought was a large crow but then realised it was a cormorant. Not a bird you normally see high in a tree.

Cormorants like to sit in a tree and shoot their wings out to dry them. Lovely shot Fav

I like his beak. He looks kind of ungainly in that tree. Smile.

@rosiekind I have seen cormorants sitting on low branches drying off their wings but was surprised to see this one in the top of a tall tree! He looked out of place!
