Rookery of Black-faced Cormorants (Phalacrocorax fuscescens) This rock is just offshore on a very well weathered part of the southern Australian coast. <br />
It would be very safe from all land-based predators like cats, dogs, foxes etc. <br />
The birds are unlike other cormorant species found around Australia with their chosen habitat being exclusively coastal and marine. They feed on small fish mostly and can dive to 12 metres to catch them. Australia,Black-faced cormorant,Fall,Geotagged,Phalacrocorax fuscescens Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
