He gives you the impression that its a balance act to stop him from falling, other wise sunbathing, yes a great series of shots.

Thanks Alandra. What I hadn't realised is that this pose of holding out the wings motionless is a characteristic of the cormorant and its close relative the shag. I'd just thought it was sunbathing!
