Observation details
I remember well thinking the huge, ragged thing on a thermal might be a Wedgetail... but then it banked and my astonishment flared!! A Cormorant!!! A Great Cormorant, the first of it's kind for the property!!! We'd twice had Little Pieds at the dam (most recently in 2018) and once I even blundered across a Little Black Cormorant sunning itself on a sooty stump beside the house, miles from water... but to see this lumbering beast was just fantastic, even if it didn't stick around!!
