Wildlife - A Beautiful Cormorant

t-h-x (45)in #wildlife • 7 years ago

The Cormorant is a larger bird. He can dive into water and is a very good fish-hunter. After diving, he spreads his wings against the sun, to dry them. This is a speciality. These birds have no fat in their molt. This is because fat would slow him down, when diving. In Asia, they use these birds for fishing. On the photo below, you can see a bird in the wild. He is quite shy and really fast when someone comes too close. I got him anyway. Please enjoy the photo.

My next photo will be available soon. I do not use any tricks, to get a picture and I try to make them look as close as possible to what my eyes have seen. If you like this picture, please vote and perhaps follow me. Thank you and have a nice day!

I can only presume... But you actively search for one species or just roam and take shots at everything that crosses your path? Do you wait for them like in a hide?
