This was very nearly another boring post about cormorants. Sure, they were at the pond: four of them, swimming and posing as though they owned the place and I did get 'several' 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

The other recent avian arrivals (alongside the cormorants) are the greylags and I spotted one quietly paddling along, for once minding its own business. Just behind a cormorant closed in, diving under the surface just short of the goose.

Less than three seconds later…

Later the same day the cormorants were in a more relaxed frame of mind (no doubt having fed well during the morning).

This is just a cormorant equivalent of a yawn…

And as a closing note, a few short clips from the trail cam. It seems our badgers are back to regular visits. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
