The proverb “Birds of the same feather
flock together” evidently reflects reality!

Phalacrocorax carbo

| BBB7787 [Phalacrocorax carbo] The Great Cormorant is one of the few birds which can move its eyes; a fact that helps them in hunting. In the picture, by looking at different directions, the birds become mutually supportive and they can survey the area in virtually any direction! Kerkini: 06/06/2010, photo © Tony Taglides |

BBB7664 [Phalacrocorax carbo]
Phalacrocorax carbo, commonly known as 'a cormorant', is a huge bird with a wingspan that in some species can reach up to 160cm. It's a great diver that can stay in the water for as long as 30" and almost always it emerges to the surface with a fish. Lots of fishermen used to see him as a competitor for fish; a fact that in the past led to the extinction of large populations of birds. Fortunately, that has stopped and at the moment there are more than 1.2 million of birds in Europe.
