Hi Peter This is a 1st year Cormorant and this is why its chest is white. It takes 2 years before it will be black on the chest. Juveniles are brown with differing degrees of white on the breast. Margaret
ahj! Sorry that last comment I'd typed Peter and then noted Lydney alongside your profile, and went and changed your name to Lydney! Now I've got it; you live in Lydney. Well Peter - I do love your photo of the cormorant and I always take note of those big feet; they look so well balanced
