Early morning, Mandurah estuary, WA Cormorants, gulls, pelican. Press Z to biggen it up. "The common cormorant (or shag) Lays eggs inside a paper bag, You follow the idea, no doubt? It is to keep the lightning out. But what these unobservant birds Have never thought of, is that herds Of wandering bears might come with buns And steal the bags to hold the crumbs." (Poem by Christopher Isherwood)
