The Little Pied Cormorant is a reasonable common bird of the Oak Street Wetland. While it does not always have a presence like the Eurasian Coote, there is a good chance of seeing one when you visit Oak Street.

This particular Cormorant appears to be posing for a photograph why it perched on a tree branch to dry off after a swim in the pond. It was taken on 8 November 2024. From the looks of it, it is a checky one.
