This is getting a little silly, but our local (juvenile) cormorant was still at the pond today. The weather was dull and overcast, with a touch of drizzle and cooling wind. These aren't ideal conditions, and it's now becoming something of a challenge to find new angles on the running theme. Nevertheless, given that I photographed nothing else today, cormorants is what it is. <\/p>\n

These first few shots were taken this morning in what proved to be the best light of the day. The cormorant was emerging from the pond as I drew up. It favours this sandy\/grassy bank in the mornings when it's quiet.

I was back at the pond at lunchtime. The skies had darkened and there was a light drizzle. It took a while to find the cormorant, but eventually I located him (?) on some wooden piles at the edge of the small island.
