I always start to get a buzz at this time of year, all the birds are gearing up and sporting their newest feathers! Some birds start this fancy dress game earlier than others, here's a Cormorant showing of his latest breeding plumage.

Brilliant photos Nirofo.:D I've never seen a cormorant close up.

Don't their feathers make a lovely pattern?
