Nice to see these down at Jervis Bay as they prefer a rocky location which we don't have in my particular area.

They're really such striking birds, aren't they, with the solid black plumage and red bare parts..... especially that eye ring.

No wonder you were pleased to find him!

A super picture this Ken, thanks.
