Diver down - (Little pied cormorant)- Photo of the day

3 May 2009 - Albert Park, Melbourne

I quite like cormorants. They are one of the few of the sea birds that I thought were so cool in the UK, like guillemots, razorbills, and puffins, the cormormants (shags are being phased out in naming conventions) are one of the few carry overs of all of those in the southern hemisphere. You either see them hanging out on the end of docks with their wings spread trying to dry them out or out in the middle of the water constantly diving and diving again.
