Brandt's Cormorant bringing nesting material
The birds fly out (usually to sea, but this looked dry, so likely from the land) and collect nesting material, then fly back and sometimes walk the rest of the way up to their nests, as this bird was doing. The males normally collect the nesting material, so this is probably a male. He looks very determined!
