[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cormorant captured at Marlfield lake in Clonmel.

A large and conspicuous water-bird, the cormorant has an almost primitive appearance with its long neck making it appear almost reptilian. It is often seen standing with its wings held out to dry. Regarded by some as black, sinister and greedy, cormorants are supreme fishers which can bring them into conflict with anglers and they have been persecuted in the past.

Hello Wojciech,
Good shot of the Cormorant. It's very difficult to capture its shot as they take to wings as soon as they become aware of human presence.Nice pose captured.
Thanks for the share,
Smitha.
