[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The long-tailed cormorant is wide-spread in Africa. This bird was looking for food near the Badala parkhotel. In the neighbourhood of this hotel you will find many interesting places for birders.
Hope you like this fish-eating bird that is screaming out loud.

Very nice and interesting shot Zeno. He certainly has something to shout about! Very nice composition with gret focus, sharpness and colour. Great light and colours too.

Hello Zeno,
Very fine capture of a Long-tailed Cormorant that we used to see at Kotu creek near the golf course. Nice pose and sharpness and the red eye is really obvious. I havent heard of Badala: is it a new nature reserve?
Thanks for sharing this one,
Regards, Ivan

Hi Zeno,

Hello Zeno. This is so wonderfully captured. I like the webbed feet perch on that branch and the wide opened bill with the head-turn. Excellent sharpness and details on that artistic branch. Nicely blurred contrasting background of this top quality image. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Zeno,
Wonderful shot of this Cormorant shouting aloud. Nice action moment and the image is neat and sharp. Great lighting, and the BG makes the subjects stand out perfectly. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
