Female photographer (me) on knees photographing wild Australian Pied Cormorant up close on remote beach in south Australia for FOAP of course. It took over an hour of inching my way in the sand sometimes on my stomach (see the trail behind me) toward the bird, constantly surprised it did not fly away. What an opportunity. Please view my portfolio for more shots of this lovely bird, and a final Shot of it flying away.
