    Wow - that's a surprise! Many thanks to all - and a special one to Myksyk for the hard work put in.

    As you all probably know now - the Dodder is my 'terrain' - I walk along a section( the banks of course) near where I live most days, weather permitting.

    The cormorants are almost an all year feature of the area - they 'live' on top of the tall old 'Dublin Laundry chimney ( there were 3 up there today but here is a older pic of 4 of them).

    This is the mating season for them and both male and female take on a breeding plumage(unlike most other birds- their sex cannot be determined by this plumage). So this pic shows a cormorant displaying this breeding plumage.

    As usual, this pic was taken with my trusted combination of Nikon D800 and Tamron 150-600mm lens ( in this case fully extended).

    ISO 1250 and shutter speed 1/400 on a dull enough day!



    BTW Cormorants are really disliked by fisherpeople as they are voracious eaters of river fish!
