I got all the photos at Slimbridge Wetlands Trust(UK) Its the bird sanctuary founded by Sir Peter Scott the famous ornithologist.Its just down the road and has the most amazing collection of wetland bird either permanently resident or visiting on their migratory routes. The birds are all pretty tame so great for close up work. Kate a cormorant would be a tricky morph_ but might make a nice model in its own right! Thanks everyone for the nice comments_ I'll keep you posted. Nigel
