CORMORANT (PREHISTORIC OR WHAT).



Things are beginning to improve slowly,but have not done much birding just a couple of trips to Stithians over the weekend looking for the Pectoral  Sandpiper without any luck. Best I can offer for this post is a couple of images of the nearest thing we can get to a prehistoric bird the Cormorant. I wonder if anyone has a bird or animal in their part of the world which could be called Prehistoric?

  1. How good is the way I like to see the cormorant: FREE, in China they use for fishing with a rope around his neck that comes close to him not to swallow the fish, I find it cruel

  2. Buongiorno Monts, the first photo of cormorant with its wings half spread is amazing, I really do not know if in Italy there are prehistoric birds!
    Have a good day!

  4. Imaginile sunt foarte frumoase!
    Parcul Natural Portile de Fier, cel mai mare parc natural din Romania are o diversitate geologica deosebita. Aici se intalnesc peste 4.000 de specii de plante si peste 5.500 de specii faunistice, multe dintre ele protejate la nivel mondial. Din animalele preistorice cred ca pot sa enumar: salamandra, cormoranul:), broasca testoasa, sturionul,... si altele :)
    Pe curand!

  5. One of the many things I miss having moved 'inland' is watching the Cormorants on the rocks.
    Nothing too prehistoric in my area except me!
