Wild Bird Wednesday 415 - Little Pied Cormorant

Hi there - this weeks WBW is brought to you by the Little Pied Cormorant (Microcarbo melanoleucos) and the number 415.  I took these pictures during a walk on a windy day in one of my local parks.  The whole C19 things is really starting to get me down - but WBW continues on!

This Little Pied Cormorant is doing the classic wing drying / heat regualtion pose shown by many birds from this group.  I am rather fond of the sharp 'hair cut' that this species of bird shows.






As ever you can join in with WBW by clicking on the link below - and also as ever, please feel free to share WBW with other bloggers.

Stay Safe. SM

    A great bird! I have a wonderful original painting of this species by Barry Kent MacKay in my dining room.

    Nice setting! The cormorant looks perky even though dressed for a formal occasion.

    Certainly different from the Cormorants who live in my corner of the world.
    Cheers!

    I like cormorants and this is such a typical pose. Keep safe, sounds like Melbourne is not a good place to be at present!! Diane

    I’d love to see that cormorant, so different from the Double Crested ones here.

    Oh my what a sweet and interesting bird. When I think of cormorants, I imagine the tall black double crested ones around the shores at home in Newfoundland during summer.
