Hi, I don't do much bird photography, but sometimes while doing landscapes I see something that is worth a shot.

OK, its not going to set the world alight, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway.

Looks like a cormorant (?) - Like the BG & the composition on this one - very nice shot.

Great shot! You should stick around and do more bird photography!

Yep, its a cormorant. A very confident one too. I managed to sneak quite close to it and although it kept it's eyes on me it didn't seem to concerned when I popped my head up from behind a rock.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks - I probably would do more bird photography, or indeed wildlife photography, but with 75-300 is so slow to focus that anything that is moving is difficult to capture. A 100-400 is on the shopping list though!

Its a lovely image, your talent obviously expands away from landscapes.

Thanks :) I don't really have any other bird images to post - the only one I have are ones I have posted here already, time for that 100-400 I've been promising myself ;)
