Sure, they were at the pond: four of them, swimming and posing as though they owned the place and I did get &#39;several&#39; shots later in the day. This first sequence though is from the morning when the light was dire and I was shooting at ISO 3200.  <\/p>\n<p>The other recent avian arrivals (alongside the cormorants) are the greylags and I spotted one quietly paddling along, for once minding its own business.
