An uncommon visitor to a pond near my place. Not an especially uncommon bird, mind, just uncommon in this pond.

Usually the pond is overrun with Pacific Ducks and Wood Ducks, but this Little Pied Cormorant was enjoying chilling. Probably visiting from Warrandyte - see more of them over there.

A more distant shot of the same scene: A Little Pied Cormorant sitting on a branch close above the water of a pond. It's got its neck wound in a bit. In the background the pond fence and beyond some houses are visible.
