    This image from last evening in the last light of the day. I would prefer if the near wing were a little higher in it's stroke to reveal more detail below it but like the determined look on it's face. Not sure about the brown/green OOF lake shore above the OOF water but it echoes the warm light reflecting off the damp feathers.

    The BG doesnt bother me, as the green adds a bit more colour. As you probably know these are similar to our white breasted cormorants over here, but ours have more white over the chest area. I like the flying posture captured, and the light shows up lovely detail on the outer wing. Well captured Tony.

    Hi Stuart. These Little Comorants look similar to the White-breasted but are far smaller (56 as opposed to 80-100cm). They also have a lot of variability in plumage, from the one here with just the white throat, through a variegated black and white breast to a full white breast and underparts like a juvenile White-breasted. We also have a Little Black which is similar to the Reed Cormorant with a green eye but no yellow skin, and a Black which is similar in Size to the White-fronted but only has white cheeks - those are just the inland ones! In NZ they are know as Shags - so this is a Little Shag (Phalacrocorax melanoleucos) - in Australia the same species in known as Little Pied Cormorant. Same genus as the White-fronted and Reed.
