Little Black Cormorants (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) are common in calm wetland habitats in Australia. They often fish and roost communally, and often occur in large flocks. This large flock of Little Black Cormorants, numbering about 300 birds, was loafing and perching at Neil McDougall Lake, in Como, a suburb of Perth. They had returned from the nearby Swan-Canning Estuary where they fed on small fish. Something, possibly a passing plane, disturbed the resting cormorants, and the whole flock took off, wheeling around the island in the lake before returning to perch in trees.
