About the species Great cormorant
About the species
A fish-eating bird. It nests at large reservoirs and in winter also stays on streams with open water.
Where to find it by the water
Large reservoirs, ponds and rivers. In winter it gathers at water that does not freeze. It rests on trees and stones with its wings spread.
What this means for anglers
It eats a lot of fish, so it is a problem for district managers. Flocks of cormorants betray places where small fish gather.
When it is observed
