How to lose nest building material

DanielD · Apr 29, 2007

Instead of heading directly to the nest this cormorant did a little showing off with his new aquired branch - thereby attracting a rival...

After some back and forth the branch eventually broke into two pieces, leaving the poor cormorant with the shorter end:

Thanks for looking.

Hmm, A braggard and his just reward. Great story and photographs to document it!

Hilarious Daniel. I believe that's called snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Very nice series, Daniel.

Serves him right for bragging. Nice series.

Great behavior series! I guess it's true that nobody likes a showoff even in the bird world.

Now that's the kind of series we live for. Well done on a great moment!

Great series, I'm laughing at Gale's 'short end of the stick'

Thanks all.
Guess there's some meaning of 'short end of the stick' that I don't know. :redface:
