User's notes
A Great Cormorant was taking advantage of the morning sun warming itself on a branch of a sunken tree. Even though I was a distance away from this bird I could see from its movements that it was uncomfortable about my presence. Without me getting any closer it launched from its branch and flew towards a branch of another tree.
