Cormorants and a Heron
A big surprise for Glen when he found three Cormorants and a Heron watching over his dam
A slightly closer shot after one cormorant had left the party

Wow, Glen – what have you got in that dam? It looks like a queue outside a really great restaurant!
I did put some Golden Perch in it last year – I doubt there will be many left……….
Great. Is that a white-faced Heron? I have just seen a White-necked Heron: apparently only occasionally seen in box-ironbark country and most often further north. Is it the dry spring that is bringing these birds closer to our water?
I am thinking this is a white-necked heron – the white-faced heron is mainly a lighter grey bird with white around the eyes and under the beak.
