      1. I have seen some big flocks of cormorants before, but nothing quite like this. Posted 10 years ago
  2. I've counted 224. I could have also made up that number, but you can only prove that by counting yourself. Posted 10 years ago

  4. Lovely, love it. Great, unusual shot. Guess there's no fish left in that pond. I've seen a few documentaries about alien fish invasions ... need to hire this flock to do the job. Well done, Wildest of Flowers. Posted 10 years ago
    1. Thanks! They have to compete with the pelicans too. Posted 10 years ago
