Brandt's Cormorant

This species is believe it or not one of those "common" birds i still had not seen or photographed.
The beauty of birding is that there is always next year if you dip and eventually you do get it, if you try hard enough.
Didn't have to try too hard for this handsome bird in breeding plumage, infact, i walked from my house with gear and tripod to Lonsdale Quay and got some shots finally, always great when you can get a Lifer so close to home.

Also picked up some nice shots of Pelagic Cormorant, those guys are always around the Seabus terminal.
