WILDLIFE FILES THE CORMORANT

[fehquig]

Those slow-motion gulls are awesome!

I think the Cormorant is a beautiful bird....looks so elegant while drying it's wings.

Unfortunately over here they are thinking of having a cull to lower the numbers...

Why? I don't know....I just don't understand.

Phil,this is interesting...I think of them as being only in Asia....learning every day!

[Zoltrix67]

In Asia, some, have attached a collar and leesh to the Cormorant and train it, to use its skills to catch fish. The collar stops the Cormorant eating the fish, so they can remove the fish. They losen it off to allow it to eat a fish every so often. I thought this was only for a commercial for a bank in uk. But googled it and found it to be true.

Awesome Video Phil, I think cormorants are cool!:)

[Zoltrix67]

I do too, especially as they catch more fish than fishermen with rods lol

[lmmsl]

Very educated video about Comorants...When ever we see a stream or a lake we always see this bird..

You have got some beautiful footage of this bird..

Thanks a lot Phil...

[Zoltrix67]

I love watching them, they are like periscopes on submarines, but are at home in the lakes. The reserve has large numbers, because they are not persecuted, and dont eat all the fish ;)

Informative video once again. The cormorant makes me laugh as he/she spreads their wings in the breeze. Thanks Phil.

[Zoltrix67]

Thanks Netty. I felt sorry for it when it lost the fish, but it went on to catch another and ate it ;)

I felt for the Cormorant when the gull took his fish .. I never heard of these birds before very interesting 5 star video for sure .Thank you for sharing :D

[Zoltrix67]

Thanks my friend. They are mainly a sea bird, but in recent years, they have taken to inland lakes and rivers, Surew glad they did.

Always fun when you give info on da bird LOL

When they are swimming low in water - reminds me of the snake bird I've seen in Florida - first time I saw one, I did think it was a snake in the water!!!

The Cormorant IS fun to watch as he airs his wings as if saying - ok guys here I am, look at my beautiful wings, ain't they purdy! he he

[Zoltrix67]

LOL Ali. They are spectacular in flight and in the water. Almost look prehistoric dont they
