Down by Lake Burley Griffin this morning I came across this cormorant sunning himself.

I dibs being the pedant on this one — its a darter, not a cormorant. (And a female one, at that — the chestnut colouring + black & white stripe on the neck; male is pretty much all black).

But a nice bird, and a nice photo.

I cannot believe that no one has made a crack about a Shag on a Rock.

The birds seem to be enjoying all the newly exposed rocks.

The rocks will soon be striped with white.
