Co-operation is one thing.  Sharing is another.  In the below snap you might notice 2 things, among others.  One is a cormorant.  The other is a small fish in possession of Mr E.  As soon as the egret got the fish the cormorant lunged at the larger bird perhaps hoping to cause a fumble, having recently been watching the Australian cricket team, and the egret was off.  It didn’t stop for a swallow until it was 20 metres away.  A hungry LPC can show some spirit.  Incidentally, Kelly Swamp is named for the farmer who had the lease and lived in a house on the site of the present educational centre.  My next-door neighbour was at school with the Kelly boys, so not all that long ago.
