Got very lucky today at the Jugan Fishponds in Consolacion, Cebu, where I sighted and photographed a lone Great Cormorant among the Grey Herons. Presented below is a very long shot and heavily cropped image of the bird, but I think it has enough details to confirm my ID: Gather Round Boys by Grandpa@50, on Flickr In flight:EOS 7DMk2; Sigma 150-600 Sports @ 600mm; f/7.1; 1/2500; ISO 640; Hand-held; Natural Lighting Only: Cormorant in Flight by Grandpa@50, on Flickr At Rest:EOS 7DMk2; Sigma 150-600 Sports @ 600mm; f/8; 1/320; ISO 250; Tripod and Gimbal Head; Natural Lighting Only Great Cormorant and Grey Heron by Grandpa@50, on Flickr Great Cormorant by Grandpa@50, on Flickr I hope someone can verify my ID - this is most probably a new provincial record :-) All the best! Bobby K.

I don't have my Kennedy Guide at the moment, but it sure looks like a cormorant. Congrats on the fine record!
If I'm not mistaken, this bird will tend to stay in the area, so you, Tateo-san and the rest of the Cebu birdnuts will have more chances to get close and capture more images.

I hope you're right - I certainly want to get closer to this bird. :-)
