The Little Black Cormorant is a small, slim, totally black
cormorant with a greenish sheen to the back and a slender grey hooked
bill.
In the breeding season, adults have fine white flecks on the
head and neck and the green tinge becomes more bronze. This species congregates
in larger flocks than other cormorants and flies in V-shaped formations.
The Little Black Cormorant feeds on fish, crustaceans and
aquatic insects. It catches prey underwater, by diving and swimming using its
large, fully webbed feet for propulsion. As their feathers are not waterproof,
cormorants are regularly seen perched with their wings outstretched to dry after
fishing.
