I hate to say this but the birds in the image posted are clearly not happy about being photographed. Surely the purpose of a wildlife refuge is to provide a space where wildlife is not disturbed. Jerrabomberra Wetlands has suffered massive disturbance in the the last 12 months. Huge amounts of devegetation and human traffic. If we love it any more we will ruin it.

I saw this pair of Cormorants on Saturday 11^th at the entrance to Jerrabomberra Creek (East Basin) and assumed at the time they were Little Pieds, but after downloading the shot and looking at the base of the bill wondered if they might be Pieds. ( I was trying to juggle keeping the boat on course in a wind gust while taking the photo so the shot is less than perfect).

Any suggestions welcome (I can send a larger, better definition jpeg if useful).

Thanks
