The Cormorant is a very common bird here in Denmark. You can find them out at sea, on the shores and as well as inland near lakes.
While not the prettiest of birds, I still think it is quite fascinating to watch both while fishing, in flight and at rest and grooming.
It is an accomplished diver and fisher equally at easy under water as above it. When diving it can stay under water for quite some time, then pop up again with a small fish or a crab.
The image where it is resting on a stone I shot from my small dingy some ways off shore. I can nearly always find some at Hou Harbor as well sitting on the poles just pondering life, grooming or drying their feathers.
