We have, as Gail mentions, a great many and as you will have seen on recent WINGS shots, they are often right by the shore near the Hutch. The wing-spread is less likely to happen in cold weather, I should mention. They do make a lovely silhouette when they shape them though. There are several different types other than those mentioned by Anni; in fact there are something like forty different variants! You might also hear the word 'shag' used - that is a cormorant with a tufted feather on its crown. Some have white (saw lots of 'pied' cormorants in OZ)... oh yes, they are one of my fave waterbirds!
