Nature Close encounter with a Cormorant!

Close encounter with a Cormorant! · **1 Like**

Today I got unexpectedly close to a Cormorant which is a bird I've been trying to get good shots of for a couple of years now, but just could never get close enough!

A couple here with a full gallery page and blog post on the site!

Excellent series. #1 is a stunning portrait!

Many thanks for the kind words!

Whilst the 600mm definately helps with getting subjects bigger in the frame, having your subject around 15 feet away definately helps!

Happy New Year to everyone!
