Went out to Lake Alford the other day to see what photos I could get of the local bird life. Spotted this Pied Cormorant in among some White Ibis, and you would not believe it, the White Ibis kept walking and standing in front of the Cormorant just when I was about to take the photo. After much talking, with me saying to the Ibis " just move a bit more to the right keep going I can still see you look it's getting hot just move it will you", I was able to get this photo.

You can see the tail end of the Ibis to the right.

Great photo of the cormorant - glad the ibis listened to you - haha!!!! Did you see that kingfisher again?
beautiful water-birds and a lovely snapshot
No Mick the Kingfisher was no where to be seen.
Nice picture. You cant really complain when the birds get in the way of each other! At least you cormorant was not hidden behind a plastic bag or something similar!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW

Great shot of your Cormorant. I think the Ibis wanted to steal the show.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm trying to figure out where in the world you live. I don't recognize any of the names. Is it Australia? New Zealand? Glad that the ibis finally understood what you were saying.
Quite a "looker" - Great shot!
A lovely bird, photographed very beautifully~
Nice anecdote and magnificent bird.

Your cormorant is much more muscular looking than ours. Nice shot. ibis-butt and all!
What? You mean the birds LISTEN to you??!! I see I'll have to change my technique!
We have cormorants, but yours is prettier! Your patience paid off!
Hi !

I was just looking up the different cormorants and spotted this pied-cormorant and wishing they were HERE in the US. They're gorgeous. And fantastic image you've shared.
