Great Cormorant



Cormorants are persecuted by some fishers due to their proficiency in catching fish.
They can distort the lenses in their ayes and thus see well both above and below water.
This one inhabits most coastal and inland waterways.
The wings lack waterproofing, reducing buoyancy and helping the bird to reach the riverbed to feed.
