Whenever I've seen large seemingly coordinated flocks like this on LBG or the Molonglo near Duntroon or Jerrabomberra Ck where it flows into the Lake, they have always been Little Black Cormorants.

We saw these too.  These were cormorants, not darters?  (I'm a newbie here.)  They eventually dispersed at Aspen Island.

Around midday on Saturday I saw from afar what looked like 50 young cormorants together in the middle basin (L14) very actively swimming, diving and generally splashing about.
