Phalacrocorax fuscicollis
This bird was spotted at Lunawa lagoon, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka around 9AM on a tree in lagoon bed. It was looks like their resting place. I was lucky to capture the shot in first visit to the lagoon.
This cormorant fishes gregariously in inland rivers or large wetlands of peninsular India and northern part of Sri Lanka.
This medium sized bronze brown cormorant is scalloped in black on the upper plumage, lacks a crest and has a small and slightly peaked head with a long narrow bill that ends in a hooked tip. The Indian Cormorant makes short dives to capture fish and a group will often fish communally, forming a broad front to drive fish into a corner.
