Cormorants

CORMORANTS; LITTLE BLACK AND PIED

Such a wintry day!!


Very cold today, hail and rain one moment, then brilliant winter sun, followed by fierce winds off the Antarctic. There was snow about on the nearby hills.

I snuck out during a brief moment of sunshine to see what was happening on the Hospital Reservoir. Funny that, it is called the Hospital Res, although it lies in the middle of the golf course.









The water birds were out and about, they don't mind the wet weather.



On a log with the late sun shining on them were a group of cormorants, both Pied and Little Black cormorants. What beautiful green eyes the Little Black Cormorants have .
