おはようございます。14.7.℃@練馬アメダス 眠いな。春眠…。たぶん寝るのに丁度いい気温なんだろう。お天気は西から下り坂だけど、南東はなんとか日中は持ちそうです。 #川鵜 #羽干し #wildlife @bskyphotos.bsky.social #GreatCormorant

Un cormoran vu de face. Il est en train de faire sécher ses ailes au soleil et tourne la tête vers la droite. Il se tient sur la berge caillouteuse d'une rivière et tourne le dos à l'eau. L'eau est claire, limpide avec une coloration légèrement verte. Elle scintille au soleil.
#BirdOfTheDay : le thème choisi par @robcrank68.bsky.social est "ailes ouvertes mais pas en vol" #WingsOpenNotFlying
Le grand cormoran est le spécialiste pour ce genre de prompt haha

A big black bird has wings outstretched. Head and beak facing left. He sits on a street light pole. This is a Great Cormorant. The Great Cormorant is the largest cormorant species in Australia, measuring between 70 cm to 90 cm in size, and is mostly black with a white and yellow chin. It is commonly found in both freshwater and coastal habitats, feeding primarily on fish and known for its excellent swimming abilities.
#BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with wings open but not flying: Alt theme is #Black&White
A #GreatCormorant waits patiently for his wings to dry. No such thing as fast drying.

Sometimes you read about field marks and think you'll never see them, but this #GreatCormorant was oddly still sporting breeding plumage which really does have white patches in the thigh!

A great cormorant viewed from the back with its wings spread. It's a large black bird with a powerful beak, twin tufts on the head and strongly textured feathers in black and dark brown.

Sea birds on a rocky shoreline. The foreground is a large rock overlooking the water. There is a great cormorant at the center, surrounded by herring gulls. There is a Eurasian oystercatcher at the far left and another one flying away at the far right. The cormorant is all black except for a white patch on its through and some iridescence in the wings. It has a large, hooked bill. The European herring gulls have white bodies with grey wings. The wingtips are black. The legs are pink. The Eurasian oystercatchers have a white body with a black tip of the tail, black head, and long orange beak. They also have pink legs.
Birds on the coast of Ireland. I believe they are the #GreatCormorant #PhalacrocoraxCarbo, #EuropeanHerringGull #LarusArgentatus, and #EurasianOysytercaatcher #HaematopusOstralegus. #Cormorant #HerringGull #Gull #Oystercatcher #Bird #Animal #Nature #Photography #KilmoreQuay #CountyWexford #Ireland
A view down the Grand Canal in Venice at sunrise. It lined with amazing buildings, hotels, private , palaces and at the far end La Salute a famous Roman Catholic Church. As I was photographing the view a huge flock of, what I believe are, great cormorants flew along the canal. They made a marvellous spectacle.

Een juveniele aalscholver in zijaanzicht, zittend op een puntig, grijsgroen paaltje of dakrand. Hij heeft een donkergrijs tot zwart lichaam met een opvallend lichtere (witgrijze) borst en hals, en een lange staart die naar achteren steekt. De snavel is lang en licht van kleur met een duidelijke haak aan het uiteinde; bij de basis zit een gele/oranje huidvlek rond de snavelhoek. De achtergrond is onscherp en mistig, met vage bruine en groene tinten, waardoor de vogel scherp naar voren komt.
Een aalscholver in broedkleed die rechtop op een paal zit. Hij heeft een lange, iets gehaakte snavel, een groenig oog en een opvallend wit gezicht met een klein zwart kuifje achterop. Op zijn flank zit een duidelijke witte vlek. De vleugels zijn donker met een schubachtig patroon. De paalkop is wit met wat groene aanslag en twee zichtbare bouten; de achtergrond is vaag en grijsbruin, alsof het mistig is.
Zo, vandaag weer eens wat vogels kunnen schieten om m’n archief mee aan te vullen. Ik zal ze jullie gedoseerd doen toekomen.
Ik begin met de #Aalscholver

One larger bird and several gulls sitting on rocks surrounded by water. The rocks and the birds are on the right side of the frame. The larger bird is dark with some white on his neck and face. Also some yellow on the face. The beak is long and gray, squared and hooked downward at the end. It tail is long and dark. The neck appears to be long and bent in an S shape. It is looking out over the water to the left. It is much taller than the gulls. The gulls have gray backs, darker tails, and white heads and bellies. There are dark smudges behind the eyes. Most of them have their heads bent down and are preening. The leftmost gull is leaning toward the water with its head turned to the side.
Great cormorant and black-headed gulls (photo taken in November), Nishinomiya, Japan.
