Cormorants in the city centre

In the centre of Bristol, just next to Prince Street Bridge, is a small group of Common Cormorants.

They have been fishing and are hanging around getting dry in the sunshine of a November day:

Their bronze feathers look beautiful in the low light:

They spend an age preening and spreading oil on their feathers.

That’s a pretty hard thing to do when you have no hands.
