they were sitting behind their protected fence, and taunting me. that was as close as i could get with my 70-200 + 1.4 TC... :(

they just sat there and preened themselves, and seemed completely content continuing doing that for the rest of the day..

The first one is a Cormorant. They dive in the water to hunt for food. This is possible because their feathers do get wet so they can dive in the water. They do need to dry off their feathers for them to be able to sustain in the air.
