My OperaCormorant

It seems an age since I've been down to Rottingdean. Little changes there. Ever. The tide was in, and it wasn't a surprise that the seas were rough.
The rock pipits were flitting along the edge of the shore, jackdaws and pigeons flocking among the rocks, and the occasional fulmar flew overhead. Plus gulls. Always gulls. The best sighting though was a cormorant. Usually they stay well out over the sea. Nice to watch as they glide past between the Marina to the west and the vantage point they have just beyond Saltdean to the east of Rottingdean, but generally not worth photographing. Today, one came in over the cliffs and close enough for a few shots. And yes, those skies are indeed blue!
And so to tonight's foxes. Just one shot for now, but it does have two foxes in it.

Camera note: Rottingdean shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. Fox cubs photographed with the trusty EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens. [/I
