The image accompanying this entry was taken by regular visitor Ken Rowe on Monday.  He watched the lighter coloured cormorant struggle with this rather large perch on the main lagoon for almost 10 minutes.  That was until the darker, more mature cormorant on the right of the picture, stole his prize and made short work of swallowing the fish whole!
