Signs are posted all around the pond, and the message is clear. Fishing is not allowed.
But when did posting a sign stop a cormorant from going after a hearty meal. 🙂
The photos of the cormorant with its catch were taken directly into a mix of bright reflection from the surface of the water, and deep shade from the trees at the edge of the pond. Inevitably they lack a little quality. The cormorant seems happy though!
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

7 Dec 2013Nice catch!!!
But efforts to swallow such a big fish remind me on a gull we’ve seen here, trying (and succeeding) to swallow a big starfish 😯
