Hi Albert, those cormorants in post 676 are just like the ones we have over here in UK. They are sea birds but have moved inland to rivers supposedly because of a shortage of fish in the sea, Over here they are called Shag. keep the pics coming as I love to see your exellent photos. best wishes ,Dave

[Albert E]

Thank you Dave!!!Those carmorants are also to be seen at our inland rivers,and apparently they are worldwide!!It is nice to watch the different birds and other animala in activity!!These were in the sun fixing their feathers,or drying in the sun!!You can see small pieces of feathers in the tip of the beaks!!The huge tele lens helps bring them near!!!I try to carry my camera wherever I go!!My son Alejandro and some of the grandchildren are doing likewise!!
Best regards:
Albert

Spotted this flitting around the garden over the weekend.
No idea what it is.

He kept flying off but repeatedly returned to the sit on the same stick.
Wasn't at all bothered by me getting up close with the Camera.

Nice looking cat Albert,I see he still has his crown jewels

[Kane]

We've added a pair of hares to the wild menagerie - they seem to like the driveway where I can't get any pics lol

[Albert E]

Here he was with his sisters("Puma").And the crown jewels will probably stay there for his lifetime!!He is a very nice tempered cat!!Good with the children!!
Hares are from Europe,but someone brought some about a century ago,and they are a plague here!!!We even export live hares for hunting lodges in Italy,and also export hares from a specializes slaughterhouse!!!Incredible!!!
