I simply had to take a snap of this youngster he was resting up and drying out his wings opposite the house this morning on the other side of the river, some 50 yds away.He was there for at least 10 minutes and was extremely vigilant with lots of head turning, almost as though he was trying to determine where he was and where he should go to next.I have only seen one other resting cormorant here,although they fly past .You could see the yellow of the base of the beak clearly and he was not the almost black colour of an adult.He was an olive green and his front was speckled grey,his colour enhanced by the morning sunshine! The Sony Cybershot did the best it could from such a distance ,roll on Christmas!
