A serene countryside scene at sunset, featuring vibrant yellow tansy flowers in sharp focus in the foreground. The flowers stand out against a softly blurred meadow and horizon. The sky is painted with warm hues of orange, pink, and purple as the sun sets, casting a golden glow over the landscape. The background includes silhouettes of trees and rolling fields, creating a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. The overall mood is calm and reflective, capturing the beauty of nature during the evening.

A hot day on the coast of the Baltic Sea: tansies, purple loose-strifes, white wagtails and a great cormorant taking a nap. I think cormorants are in need of a PR campaign. People don't like them here. After I had taken a few photos of the big black bird, a passerby even said to me that they hoped no more cormorants would arrive there.

It's frustrating.

*Start rant*
Sure, cormorants eat fish but their impact on the fish population is negligible. Sure, their colonies kill a few trees but how many trees does the Finnish logging industry cut down each year? Yeah, cormorants are not the issue. Besides, their droppings are fertilizers for other plants. They are not an invasive species – they lived here earlier until we hunted them to extinction. They have natural predators: white-tailed eagles. Yep, we killed almost all of them too. Sure, cormorants might be "ugly" and "annoying" but they don't deserve to be culled because of that.
