We visited the little beach on Tuesday morning. We were surprised to find two cormorants swimming around. This is closer than their usual visits. I soon discovered they were fishing and being quite successful. A seagull noticed this and arrived to watch.
After thinking how much the cormorants resembled the images of the Loch Ness Monster, I was amazed that one of them steamed around the rocks to get behind the seagull.
