The little cormorant is amongst my favorite birds. Extremely energetic, stylish, spunky and agile, these birds have quite a character.
This cormorant was perhaps wounded and was waddling on the foot path abutting the Nelapattu lake. I followed it for sometime, till it slipped into the thick shrub and into the lake. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gap in the fence through which the cormorant had slipped.
I managed to slip to the shore of the lake through this gap without creating too much of a alarm amongst the flock of birds (the next post). Watched the cormorant for over 15 mins peacefully!
Tech Spec:
f5.6, 1/800, ISO 200
