Diver Gets Cormorant for Company as Bird Swims by During Hunt

A diver had a cormorant for company near Rye Pier, Victoria, recently, saying that normally they "freak out and take off" when they see a human, but that this one was just too focused on hunting for food. The underwater footage by Jules Casey shows the cormorant swimming around and pecking at the seabed. Casey https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2qCt9hhKSe/?igsh=cnZ4YXEzZ21ndGFh said that she had dived down to the seabed to https://newswire.storyful.com/storylines/*/301190 rescue a fiddler ray , but then spotted the cormorant too. Pied cormorants are found throughout mainland Australia, and they feed by catching prey underwater, diving and propelling themselves with their webbed feet, https://birdlife.org.au/bird-profiles/pied-cormorant/ according to Birdlife Australia.
