Birds in Flight : Diep River, Woodbridge Island
 |
| White-Breasted Cormorant Woodbridge Island, Cape Town |
I went down the river for a birds in flight session along the Diep River, Woodbridge Island earlier this morning and I was greeting with glorious weather. Crisp windless early morning light, with clear an exquisite clear blue sky and water. The only clouds around was those floating off the top of Table Mountain.
