The great cormorant is a masterful hunter, diving deep to catch fish with its sharp, hooked beak. Unlike most waterbirds, its feathers aren’t fully waterproof, allowing it to sink effortlessly. After each dive, it perches with wings outstretched to dry—a distinctive and iconic sight. A fascinating blend of power and precision in the avian world.
