Greenfinches, Cormorant

Pleasant walk this morning in sunshine, 5°C.  A few Greenfinches were buzzing, including one by the roadside near the reserve, but it was always behind branches making it difficult to focus on apart from almost directly below. 

When I reached the far side, a Cormorant was fishing in the same area as yesterday's Great Crested Grebe with a fish. Interesting how green the eyes are when viewed in sunshine!
