Brilliant I didn't know cormorants were so aerobatic, or was it a mistake? It's reminds me of a cat I used to have that used to put her head on upside down............

Superb , and I can also see the comical side of it , have seen Canada Geese doing very similar , but never thought a Cormorant had that kind of flight control , Lovely light too , Well done Mick .

Cheers Stu it was on a downward approach to land when some gulls started mobbing it (which I unfortunately missed) but this was shortly after it did like a barrel roll to avoid them lol
