Description
The Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is a large black bird.
Unlike other more popular, captivating water birds, the cormorant is viewed by many as a relatively uncharismatic species. Maligned for centuries and persecuted for their fisheating habits, the cormorant has recently become the center of controversy in regions
where numbers have rapidly increased.
Expanding populations have raised concerns about adverse impacts cormorants might have
on other bird and fish species of special concern, declines in local fish populations, and
destruction of vegetation at nesting areas.
Specific socioeconomic concerns include economic losses from depredation at aquaculture
facilities, potential impacts on fishing-related businesses, loss of fish in private lakes, and
damage to trees on private property.

Le Grand Cormoran, ou Cormoran commun (Phalacrocorax carbo), est une espèce d'oiseau aquatique qui appartient à la famille des phalacrocoracidés. Cette espèce est souvent persécutée à cause des dégâts qu'elle génère sur les stocks de poissons et sur les arbres lui servant de perchoir. La prolifération des cormorans oblige la plupart des pays d'Europe à délivrer des autorisations de tirs pour tenter de réguler les populations et limiter un peu les dégâts considérables sur l'équilibre écologique des rivières et sur la pisciculture.

Superb capture and notice how low in the water it sits. No wonder they have to dry their wings out.

I don't know if he captured any fish, but you made a fine capture. We only get a few here at any one time, and we don't have a fishing industry, so I enjoy these birds.
