Cormorant

There is a lot of wildlife to be see on the riverside walk that I quite often go. Some on the riverbank, some in and on the river and some in the surrounding fields. Deer, Otters and many species of bird life There is also an abundance of flora that changes as the year progresses. Various grasses, flowers, shrubs, bushes and trees that all come into their own at some point.

There are many cormorants on the river and can be seen most days, whether fishing or like this one drying off. Cormorants have even been seen on the river in the middle of the town. They don't seem to have any fear and feel quite safe. The one in the picture fished a fair bit of the river before hopping onto a rock to 'dry-off'.
