Great record to have. Last year's COG boat trip up the molonglo river north of Jerra Wetland where they had apparently been nesting mainly previously recorded just 1 old Darter nest and no cormorant nests.

Thanks! I have some great video too but doesn't seem to want to upload.

CNM doesn't have the capability of taking video or audio at this stage. While it isn't necessary, if you wanted to, perhaps you could upload it to youtube or some other online hosting service and add a link in the comments. How many young did you see?

Four young plus two adults. The second adult flew away as soon as my kayak came near, though.
