Getting low for the shot for FOAP. I chose in this shot to use my iPhone rather than my bulky Nikon as I did not want to scare this Australian Pied Cormorant away. It took over an hour inching my way toward it to get this close within scaring it away, and I was surprised that its curiosity alone allowed me to approach as it was a healthy bird. I gather it's curiosity of me because it was a remote beach seldom accessed by humans.
