Cormorants hunt as pack, eat alone

About 20 Little Black Cormorants (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) dominate the fishing in  Tyto's new lagoons these days. 

Birds hunt in a pack, often diving and resurfacing in near unison.

But togetherness stops at sharing the spoils. Taking the catch ashore is best strategy.

Get the fish lined up head-first for the swallow.

In it goes, ready for the final gulp. Then, quickly back to rejoin the pack.
