Cormorant with Flat fish

davet47 — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 15:26:36 +0000

by: davet47

Description: Knowing that the tide was nowhere near as high as it usually is when I visit Flint, I took my Fuji XT3 and "walkabout" 18-300 lens intending to just walk along the path and see what was about, only to find several Cormorants and Great Crested Grebes fishng along the shore line.This shot is part of a sequence I took but didn't know what I"d captured until I'd downloaded the photos.How I wish I'd taken my 100-400 lens and converter!
