The Cormorants are very busy building their nests at the moment and bring back all kinds of materials such as a feather in the first picture, twigs and even a whole reed. This proved to be quite a challenge getting it up to the nest high in the trees so after two failed circuits round the lake trying to gain enough altitude, it landed on the water to rest and then took off with the reed even heavier from the added water but successfully made it to the nest. Then time to fly off and take time to rest and dry off in the sun. I only saw one non-breeding bird (last image) - the rest were resplendent in their breeding plumage.
