Scarborough Harbour - 15th November 2018

Cormorant

A brief visit to Scarborough Harbour this morning did not excite me! The two Great Crested Grebes are still in residence, initially in the bay before moving into the harbour. It was high tide so c12 Purple Sandpipers were still roosting on the rocks, but little else. Following early mist, the sun eventually broke through, giving the opportunity for an image or two.

The sun reflected a golden hue on one of the two Great Crested Grebes and water




As I say, I wasn't at all excited over the wildlife in or around the harbour. Indeed, I set off to find some wet paint that I could watch dry! I couldn't find any so concentrated taking images of this obliging Cormorant. I was rather impressed with the wing structure!





It was, perhaps, the sunrise that impressed me most and of course it had to be captured! I tried to record it slightly differently









Love the swimming hat!
