On the lookout
The Great Cormorant can be found widespread in Europe, Asia, Oceania and eastern North America.
This bird breeds mainly on coasts but also increasingly inland.
Many fishermen see in the Great Cormorant a competitor for fish. That’s why it was nearly hunted to extinction in the past !
Thanks to conservation efforts its numbers increased again, but this brings the Cormorant nowadays into conflict with fisheries once more……..
Dutch name : Aalscholver
German name : Kormoran

I'm not surpised that the fishermen see them as competition. They can swim under water, their beaks are like razor blades and I have never seen them in ponds without fish. They are great fishers! This is a great shot of this proud bird.Deryck
