Certainly not the first!
Nice shot of the cormorant in his classic pose Pat.
His eye looks like a little jewel :)

I never knew they had eyes that color! I didn't know they had little fang looking things on their beaks either. Very interesting bird. Great capture!

Cormy has a glass eye and it is really colorful Owd Momma. If he was the first one to land on that post, he was full of .... :) Good composition, nothing to distract from the shot which is really good.

Hi Pat,
good photo of the fascinating Cormorant.
Look at those eyes!
I see them a lot around here in Holand but they are distinctly different. And worse they are gone as soon as they recognize me as a human being.
No wonder as they have hunted down mercifully for ages. But now they are under protection and them breed like rabbits, eating away all the fish.
I see the lens you used, do you like it?
It has this pumping mechanism right?
You mentioned it is a 100-400mm lens, but actually it is, on your camera with 1.6x crop factor, effectively a 160-640 mm lens. Amazing!
