Young Cormorant doing some macho wing flapping

Cormorants are usually difficult to photograph in flight, as most of the time they just stand around and occasionally flap their wings. Even when they fly, it is low and fast and usually away from you. Inkata Island is an amazing reserve that is home to a colony of very active Cormorants. They demonstrated their very dinosaur-like appearnce on this visit. Not exactly cuddly, but very impressive.
