Cormorant at Lake Kariba (Antelope & Zebra Islands View)

A Reed Cormorant perched on a sun-warmed rock along the shoreline of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, with its wings spread to dry. In the distance, the silhouettes of Antelope and Zebra Islands sit on the horizon under a clear sky. This photograph captures the tranquil, expansive atmosphere of the lake's eastern basin, where the rocky shorelines provide ideal perches for the region's diverse water birds.
