Great Cormorant Colony

Great Cormorants are the largest cormorant in Australia and are also found in other parts of the world.

They live at places of permanent freshwater as well as coastal inlets and estuaries.

These birds can often be seen diving to catch fish then later perched somewhere with their wings outstretched to dry.

I happened to accidentally come across a small colony of great cormorants when taking a wander around Queechy Lake in Launceston, Tasmania. There were chicks in nests on a little island in the lake which was surprising seeing as it was the middle of May and almost the end of autumn.

Here are a couple of photos of Queechy Lake. You can see the little island full of dead trees and shrubs.

Here’s a photo of the nests.

And here are some photos of the chicks.

And finally, here’s a video of the chicks being fed.

Me in #DeSchammer: Oh wow! so happy I've seen a singular #Egret!
Me in the #Arkemheen polder: Damn there's just too many of these egrets and #herons about! (and #cormorant, and #wigeons and #ducks and #grebes and probably more I can't all identify in this photo)

Double-crested cormorant on the Anacostia today.

On our way out, this is where we passed under the freight train
