Alexandria, Sydney Park wetlands
Sydney Park is a large inner city recreational area in Alexandria. It features a number of ponds and wetlands that attract many animals and birds. This is a view (top) of the pond in the south-east corner of the park. A Little Black Cormorant, also known as a Shag, is seen here sunning its wings (bottom), while its mate enjoys the view from the boardwalk.

I love wetlands! Shag huh? I've never heard that term for a cormorant. Fun to hear the different "Englishes"
A shag on an iron beam doesn't quite sound the same as a shag on the rocks.
You are lucky to have all that water.
Wow!!!! That shag, a nice one too. I was on the Gold coast, and on a private canal. There were shags on the jetties, but they were always too fast for me.
True, Bill. "Like a Shag on a Rock" is such an Aussie expression and always gives the Brits a chuckle because it means something naughty there. :)
wonderful to have a look at your wetlands. Thank you.
Wow, what a treat to have a place like that right in the middle of the city.

I've entered a major international photo competition (details are on my blog) and would be most grateful if you'd click through and rate my portfolio (just click on the stars at the bottom (preferably the 5th star - "fantastic" - LOL), easy peasy, no registration or personal details needed). Thanks so much!
Good to see wetlands in a city like Sydney
beautiful places and good captures! regards
