Well I'll get the news bit over first. There was no cormorant at the pond today. Maybe he was just hiding, but I have a feeling he's moved on to join up with the rest of his gang. All of which meant I turned the camera on some of the other local wildlife, notably this very photogenic rabbit out in the recently harvested wheat fields.
The other creature to catch my eye was a fledgling pied wagtail, which was foraging along the water's edge. These bold little birds seem to be everywhere at the moment and were due some blog space.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens.

21 Aug 2011Darko, I love it when they try to hide by standing upright and not moving!

22 Aug 2011Adele, I think they had been harvesting that morning. The combine was up in the next field when I took this.
