Larry's Gallery:   Black-faced Cormorant (4/4)

PHALACROCORACIFORMES: Phalacrocoracidae

Phalacrocorax fuscescens  

These Black-faced Cormorants seem quite content to roost near and actually amongst the comparatively huge bodies of the seals.

This photo shows the cormorants, seals and a few silver gulls on a small rocky island a short distance from Stanley, on the north coast of Tasmania on an incredibly windy day.
