A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is captured mid-action in the calm, blue waters of Lac de Der. The bird's dark, sleek head and neck emerge from the water, its beak wide open to swallow a small, silvery fish it has just caught. The yellow gular pouch at the base of its beak is prominent. The water around the cormorant has gentle ripples, reflecting the soft light. The image captures a powerful moment of survival in the wild, highlighting the cormorant's skill as a predator.
