Large flock of pied cormorants on Sydney Harbour

["Alistair McKeough" <>]

This morning I counted a flock of 22 pied cormorants on the wing over
Woolwich Pier on Sydney Harbour, which is many more than I've seen in a
single flock there before.

There was also an unusually large flock of silver gulls, so obviously
something tasty was happening in the water. The cormorants appeared to have
a go at breaking up the flock of gulls, but I'm not sure if they were being
aggressive or simply trying for the best airspace to keep an eye on whatever
was happening in the water, which meant being where the gulls were.
