Cormorant study in Sydney

Dear all,

I’m conducting a survey on nest-site selection by cormorants (Great, little-pied, pied and little black) in the Sydney Metropolitan Area, possibly extending to regional centres on the central coast or south coast. I would really appreciate information on the location of breeding colonies in and around Sydney.

So far I have visited Yeramba Lagoon (only saw one cormorant), and Royal Botanic Gardens (there is breeding taking place by little black and little pied). I will visit Pitt Town lagoon and Centennial Park in the coming weeks. If you have any information on cormorant breeding in any of the abovementioned areas, and/or other areas (recent past or current), I would be grateful for your feedback.

Thanks for your time!

Tina

    Hi Tina, You should have a look at Lake Gilawarna. I saw large numbers of Little Pied Cormorants breeding there in Feb 2005. Not sure if the Ibis have displaced them since. Regards. Roger.

    Hi Tina, Lake Belvedere in SOPA’s Bicentennial Park, Homebush. She-Oaks on island. Good luck with study.
