Little Egret, Cormorants

The sun was out again today, and there seemed to be a mini-school of small fish in the shallows to the left of the hide.  It was a touch busy in the hide, so I was jostling for position a little bit, but a group of Cormorants was fishing, constantly diving and coming up again with small fish, and a Black-headed Gull even managed to find one. The Little Egret didn't seem too bothered. It watched from the shallows and flitted around, but didn't seem to catch too many fish while I was there, apart from one you can see out of focus in one of the Cormorant photos!
