Phalacrocorax carbo, the Great Cormorant, not the black cloaked parson fisher it is often thought to be but quite dapper and colourful at this time of year. This one at Castle Water #RyeHarbourNR @sussexwildlife.bsky.social (we won’t look at the guano coated nesting site). #sussexbirding #ukbirding
