Little cormorant

Microcarbo niger

Description:

Little cormorants tend to forage mainly in small loose groups and are often seen foraging alone. They swim underwater to capture their prey, mainly fish. A study in northern India found that the little cormorant fished in water which was less than a metre deep and captured fishes of about 2–8 centimetres (0.79–3.15 in) length. (wiki)

Habitat:

small tank

I love watching these Cormorants diving for fish .. there is one very often on the river here in the village. very timid though so I've never managed to get close enough for a good photo like yours Nuwan
