I was out riding with my kids and didn’t
have my binos (so frustrating!!) but I’m pretty certain they were judging
by the length of their necks.

group of Cormorants / LBG [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
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.
