User's notes

There were several Little Pied Cormorants in the area. They were very alert, never letting me approach close at all. These two birds had taken off from an area away from where I was but they circled around to come back toward Point Hut Crossing. It was not until I looked at the photograph that I noticed there was some contact between them, with the rear one appearing to be lunging at the front bird.
