Description
White-breasted Cormorant (Phalacrocorax lucidus) - As the name suggests, this large bird has a white neck and breast with the white increasing as the bird matures. This bird has a wide distribution in sub-Saharan Africa. After diving for food, cormorants spread out their wings to dry and are a familiar sight on water bodies where these birds exist.
Photographed in Lake Naivasha in Kenya, Africa

Thank you Jake. This too was my first sighting of the white breasted cormorant.

Nice shot, I have never seen this kind, so much prettier than our all black ones here!

Thank you Donna. Yes this bird is certainly much prettier than the black ones
