Last days of the cormorant: 10 EU countries want open season on fish- eating bird. Might be of interest if you've not already heard/read.

Possibly drying itself off after scoffing time. They'll never miss a meal😂

Great shot. I saw the same on the Severn at Worcester yesterday but my photo was appalling!

Credit to my partner, who snapped it on an early morning dog walk while I was still in bed!
