Cormorant

 This bird can be seen quite often at Ferrymoor Flash. They often stand with their wings spread open wide, They do this to dry off the feathers after a dive in the water. These birds are supreme fishers and can often be seen with fish in their mouths. They seem to be frequent visitors to Ferrymoor. I have seen one perched on a post close to the edge of the lake. There is a gap in the bushes where I can stand so to get a good shot  without disturbing them.
