There appears to be a pair of Great Cormorants
nesting amongst the Little Black Cormorants on Black Mtn Peninsula. I
didn't have my binoculars with me as I paddled past there today but from what I
could see with the naked eye that seemed to be the case - 2 birds with an untidy
nest at their feet, making that "clicking" sound, and not taking flight ( as
they usually do) when I approached.
The Little Blacks have been active, several
nests containing dependent young. I could only see 2 Darter nests, one
with 4 DY and the other with 3, but there may well be
more.
In the same area there was a Magpie-lark entangled
in some sort of man made material and dangling - dead - under its nest. A
female bird visited the nest as I watched, presumably to feed unseen
young.
