Celebrating rain | Indian Cormorant

[Bhargava Srivari]

With the monsoon still appearing to be a disappointment, every rain we receive needs to be celebrated and made use of :-)

Nice image Bhargava. The rain drops add value to the image.

I feel this is an immature Great Cormorant and not Indian Cormorant. Great Cormorants have the yellow face patch which can be seen here.
Have posted a close up of Indian Cormorant below for reference.
