the last cormorant

In fact although it's the last one I'm posting from our pit-stops at West Bay, this was the first cormorant I captured, zoomed at the time and cropped later because he was sitting on a post right across the harbour. I've also given him a frame to try to make him look more important. (Often, but not always, frames on my pics mean that I am trying to cover up something!)

Beautiful capture if this lovely bird -- I love his stance -- was he preparing to wing it ?? A super presentation & framing Hazel . A fav

@beryl

Beryl, thank you so much for your comments and the fav. He seemed to be having a good rehearsal for his wings! Maybe he is a juvenile and not too sure of himself yet.

Oh wow! Great shot. Excellent detail in his feathers.

[Margaret Brown]

You have had some fantastic captures of this lovely bird. How lucky you are

[Richard Hickey]

Nice shot.

[Julie Duncan]

I've enjoyed your cormorants! We have them here in Michigan, too, although ours look darker and smaller than yours. :)

Fantastic capture taken at a great moment.

[Taffy]

Great details and what perfect timing to have captured his wings that way.

[Graham Thresher]

A fantastically clear capture

I don't know what you are trying to cover up as this is a fabulous shot and I love the light on his wing - Fav

[Pyrrhula]

You see, you still surprise us with beautiful pic.`s of this great bird .

@rosiekind

Rosie, thanks for kind words and fav! I think the background was a bit disapponting - a clutter of lobster pots etc - and I felt I hadn't much background left once I'd cropped that out.

You did it with a wing and a prayer :0)

[Lynda]

He's lovely :0)

He's wonderful! We have them on the pond down the road, but they are all black. Love to watch them diving for food.
