An old friend.

Mr. Cormorant of course.

He is normally drying his wings along with several others on Comorant Island. But after all the recent rains the Island is under water. So he has had to move to one of several poles.

Here he is saluting a passing parade of Swans.

Several of the paths on the Reserve are also flooded.
My extra shows the guide at the entrance which tells you the depth of water on the paths to Grisedale and Lower hides.
