Wild Bird Wednesday 455 - Little Black Cormorant

The Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) is a reasonably common species found over all of Australia - most typically in freshwater habitats.  This individual was no exception, and was drying / thermo-regulating om a log at my local wetland.

As you can see it a classically black cormorant, but it does have wonderful green eyes.

    That BLACK Cormorant better not get arrested for public pooping or pretty soon he won't be able to breathe.
