010 Great Cormorant 鸕茲鳥
Mai Po Nature Reserve 米埔自然保護區  
28/2/2003
EOS-1v, EF600/4L
Fuji Provia 400F [RHP III]

Getting a good flight shot of the Cormorant proved to be a difficult task. The speed was swift to say the least. Black against a dark BG is even more a challenge. The shot was taken at MPNR yesterday morning. Fill flash was used.
 
This bird was in breeding plumage - silver-white on head and neck with wings in bronze colors ...

KK,
 
Nice shot! The white necked Cormorant looks more beautiful. Provia 400F is quite grainy, isn't it?

Although the construction of the BB is extremely simple, I'd save the trouble of diy. It costs around $350- by mail order.
 
Yes, the shot was made with Wimberley Head.
