I did see three Little Pied Cormorants perched on a dead tree standing at the lake's edge. Before I could get my camera in position two of them flew off but the remaining one stayed put for a little while. From their high position in a tree at that time of day and their skittish behaviour, I wonder if some fisherman may be frightening them off as the birds may be going after the bait or even the fish being caught. When the cormorants did fly off they went to some more trees across the small bay where I was. One of them later returned to the original tree but the moment I showed interest in it, the bird took to the wing again, and was joined by a second cormorant. They then flew off further down the lake.
