GREAT CORMORANT
This young cormorant had just finished fishing the other morning and was busy drying off, energetically flapping its wings and turning and twisting to catch the sun.
This is a young bird. This can be seen by just the small amount of white colour around the chin, rather than the stronger white colouring of the adult birds
Notice particularly, the strongly hooked bill, the yellow beak and facial skin, and the brilliant green eye colour.
