I decided to go out last minute to the RSPB nature reserve at Dunginess, mostly for the exercise, to be honest.

The lighting was perfect with lovely hard,low sunlight.

I only captured cormorants, but I have always admired these beautiful birds.

Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
This large, black waterbird can be seen across the UK throughout the year. Cormorants are experts at fishing, but this can bring them into conflict with anglers. They dive underwater for long periods of time catching their prey. Their feathers are not waterproof, which helps them dive deeper, and this is why they are often seen standing out of the water with their wings spread out to dry.

Approximately 9,000 pairs breed in the UK each year, and their numbers increase dramatically when they are joined by 41,000 birds over the winter months. Cormorants are able to breed both on land and in trees, making nests of seaweed, reeds, and twigs.

Cormorants are on the Green list for Birds of Conservation Concern.
