Yesterday I had one job on my mind and whatever the weather was I had to get it done and the task was to put up a small fence made of willow attached to 2 posts and as it was a frosty day there was a layer of ice on the surface of the water so luckily I had taken my Heavy duty kayak with me to smash my way through the ice over to Otters pass and within 5 minutes the job was so done.
After doing the job I spotted a Cormorant on the far side of the flashes perched on a submerged boats but as there was a large area of ice between me and the open water near the Cormorant so I had to put some power into my strokes.
After a few minutes of smashing through the ice I managed to get a few metres away from the bird before it dived under my kayak and swam to the opposite side of the flashes I tried to follow it but as it reached the ice sheet it turned around and flew right past me and back to its original perch so I decided to leave it alone and head back home and get warm and check out my photos of the Cormorant.
Thanks for reading
Lovely images Mike... take care on that icy water.
ReplyDeleteThank you that I will do but the ice was luckily very thin and my new kayak is very sturdy plus kayaks are different to canoes as they don't capsize as easy.
