Good behavioural shots. I was leading a group of children on a field trip the other day and they had great fun counting how long the cormorant stayed under and guessing where it was going to surface. They all knew what a cormorant was by the end of the day!

Because you dont get bronze roach with blood red fins. This is definatly a rudd. You can even see the dosal fin position in the second photo showing it being situated further along its back towars its tail. Roach also rarely show blood red dorsal and caudal fins anyway not like this. |
