Photo

I believe this photo is of a Little Pied Cormorant. I'd be happy to have it featured in the gallery, but I'd want someone more knowledgeable to confirm the species.

I took the photo near a small inland lake at Gatton, Queensland, Australia.

Yep - cool picture!Cas Liber 11:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And the duck behind is maybe a Pacific Black Duck? There has been a Freckled Duck and some Cotton Pygmy-geese there recently. You should have a look for them. --Glen Fergus 23:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
