User's notes
I was distracted when a Little Pied Cormorant landed in the water on the eastern side of the bridge to Aspen Isaland, before walking out of the water to dry its feathers. It stopped momentarily at the edge of the water, photo one, before moving higher up the bank, photo two. I did note the white downy feathers stuck to its wing, which may have been in the water from other birds when it was swimming,
