User's notes
this bird took off rapidly from Fassifern Pond as soon as i appeared, with amazing lift and momentum, so I just took a few wild snaps hoping to get a good one. Although the appearance and colour varies all photos are of the same bird which in the main pic seems it could be a pied cormorant although i had the impression of a larger bird (probably black and white), the strong winter light combined with the glare from the water may have caused the apparent colour variations,
