NC2672 : Drying Cormorant

taken 17 years ago, 3 km from Kearvaig, Highland, Scotland

Drying Cormorant
Drying Cormorant
This is Far North West Scotland. Most grid squares have no interesting features. Most contain grass, grass and more grass (with the odd bog and a few rocks here and there). However, not this one. We were lucky to find a Cormorant just before we got to the road to Cape Wrath. It was trying to dry out and not very mobile. Hence, it was a great subject for a relatively close snap. This square does have quite a pretty mini 'gorge' in the far South West corner - tired legs might find it an annoying barrier. In good weather though, it's a bonus feature...
