User's notes

one from the archives, it was recently brought to our attention that this was not the bird we thought it was, it appears to be a melanistic Little Pied Cormorant. Thanks to redwan21 on iNaturalist and Ed Williams on ABID. Thought it may be of interest if anyone else has seen one like this. Apologies @CarbonAI in advance.
