This little black cormorant was one of several sharing the swamp with the ducks and grebes. It kept to the shallows in front of the hide. I think it might have been showing off.

Little black cormorant
The two-storey bird hide at Hastie's Swamp, near Atherton, is a good spot to watch water birds. Not that it's brimming with rare and unusual species, but it's a restful place and you can sit there for hours watching the whistling-ducks and thinking about ... well ... nothing in particular.
