Captured in Santa Pola area, Alicante, Spain.
This is long distance shot of this cormorant in motion captured @ 800mm and manual settings on camera. Hope you like it ;)

Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the Great Black Cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere, the Black Cormorant in Australia and the Black Shag further south in New Zealand, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It breeds in much of the Old World and the Atlantic coast of North America.

The Great Cormorant is a large black bird, 77-94 cm in length with a 121-149 cm wingspan. It has a longish tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have white thigh patches in the breeding season. In European waters it can be distinguished from the Common Shag by its larger size, heavier build, thicker bill, lack of a crest and plumage without any green tinge.

In eastern North America, it is similarly larger and bulkier than Double-crested Cormorant, and the latter species has more yellow on the throat and bill...

Hi Ralf
Great action shot

Hello Ralf,
Good in flight.
I have more or less the same equipment. I see you have a IV generation CF card. If you photograph with this card and you compare it to a previous III or II card, do you think the card is writing faster in RAW conditions in the high speed transport mode?
Well done!

hello Ralf

superb inflight shot with excellent details of the subject
and very well framed, looking at the cormorant's wings and
that space in front of him you can wonder the speed of his flight
