Okay, back to my flight shots ... :lol:

Cormorants are in thousands wintering here in Hong Kong right now. I do wish there were not these many! This flight shot was taken last Friday. The green/brown BG was the reed bed at its full color. A fast flyer even for this big bird ...

Where's the grey BG? :)

Great eye level shot KK. Is that a water drop under his neck?

Hi Alan,

I have given in for shooting the Hong Kong sky for BG. So bear with me ... :wink:

Yes, there are two water droplets just under its neck. Can't escape your great keen eyes either!!! :roll:
