Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirotris)

The Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds.

Apart from humans, a variety of seabirds are the southern black bream's main predators, with the Pelican, Little Black Cormorant and Great Cormorant prominent.

The Little Black Cormorant feeds mainly on fish, and eats a higher proportion of fish than the frequently co-occurring Little Pied Cormorant, which eats more decapods.

The Little Black Cormorant ranges from the Malay Peninsula through Indonesia (but excluding Sumatra) and New Guinea (including the D'Entrecasteaux Islands) and throughout Australia.

Many waterbird species inhabit the inlet and its surrounds including the Silver Gull, Australian Pelican, Black Swan, Little Black Cormorant, Grey Teal, Blue-billed Duck, Red-necked Avocet and the Australasian Shoveler.
