From a distance, they look like crows, sitting patiently on the poles , waiting for the fish to surface.
The cormorants have other competitors like the storks and the egrets, all waiting for a juicy morsel.
However, the cormorants are the smartest anglers. I have seen one bird catch and swallow a fish bigger than itself, in a smooth operation.This is my contribution to this week's Our World Tuesday and World Bird Wednesday.
Wow - those shots are gorgeous - just like paintings!

Wow, what a great capture.
ReplyDeleteThose cormarants have a straegy working for them, don't they? All in a line..waiting, waiting.
ReplyDeleteAll the cormorants have taken place on the pole!
ReplyDeleteEating larger in smooth operation? That's excellent action!
They are always so interesting to watch, all lined up. My husband photographed a line of them on the mooring line of a military ship, and was nearly arrested because he was too close to the ship! Great photos of those patiently waiting birds!
ReplyDeleteHow patiently they wait. And yet keep focused on their prey!
ReplyDeleteNice captures!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
