Little Black Cormorant







Strongly aquatic and seldom being seen on dry land, the Little Black Cormorant is often seen resting on rocks and other perches in water.

They really aren't that little! However, the bottom one is a young bird.

No, the bottom one was screaming at its mother to feed it MerlinPrincesse :)

Agree, I wouldn't name a sixty centimetres long bird as 'small' Perriette!

HAHA, you're very lucky the HUGE poop missed you Joy Eliz!

Haha, the top photo also has advantage of being taken with more lighting. The sun is extremely harsh here and after nine way too glary to photograph around water. Thanks Hardwax :)
