CommentThis male bird was sitting quietly on a branch, with a number of Pied Cormorants. A female settled on a tree about fifty metres away. Immediately this male began to put on show, head down, head up, wings in and wings out. The female seemed quite unimpressed.
[Moderator Note- the plumage seems to be in the process of transforming from immature to adult male.]
