20200530-MMPI0064

Saturday 30th May 2020 saw me drop into University of Queensland at St Lucia, Queensland, Australia for a morning outing. The morning saw some lovely light, and with many Little Black Cormorants nesting in a tree on the lake there were lots of good opportunities for in-flight shots. Some fun catching a Pacific Black Duck taking off from the lake surface, and a couple of Little Pied Cormorant in flight.
