I agree. Geoff's photos added something quite new to me about relative sizes of head & beak. Very useful. For what it is worth, I have never seen a Pied Cormorant in ACT or even anywhere remotely near here. I looked after we had some mentions of them on Lake Tuggeranong. Only OOA for me.

Splendid photos Geoffrey, making the differences clear. Can I just add that there were remarkably few records of Pied Cormorants – only two – in the COG databases for July 2010-June2011. A single bird near Yarralumla nursery; another near Bungendore. Not sure if this means there have been fewer of the species around or whether folk haven’t been bothering to record them. For my part, I haven’t seen them in their relatively usual haunt of the pontoon near John Knight Park, Lake Ginninderra. b
