This time of year here is when the next generation are getting about.
This is a juvenile Great Cormorant distinguished in particular by the brown back which eventually becomes grey/black.
Also a more colorful face than the adult.
The bird had just landed and the wings were still coming down.

Looks very nice Colin. EXP and details look good. Light angle was perfect. I might leave a bit more room behind the bird if you have it for the tail but this is a bit of a challenging composition with the head then so far in front. Very nice, TFS

Quite nice of a low angle here. The light looks nice as well. Like how that near wing is raised up a little. Pattern on the water is pretty neat.
