Field Notes

Notes:

I thought this was a Pied Cormorant but apparently they have grey bills - this bird's bill is obviously yellow. Seen near the Goolwa barrage.

Thanks Atul. I wasn't sure about the Australian Pied Cormorant ID as the bill colour is wrong. I've just done some more research and I think my bird is a Little Pied Cormorant - they have yellow bills.
