Quite pleased with how sharp the eye was with this photo

It’s drying off. Cormorants have less preen oil so they have to spread their wings and dry off after a session of diving.
Nice! I saw a cormorant for the first time the other day, but the eye wasnt that blue! Great shot and thank you for sharing it
Like with Harriers you can age a cormorant by its eye colour, European ones go from brown to jade green as they age, so I guess this one is a young adult
Interesting!
Here’s the pic for reference
The different species of cormorants have different color eyes and those colors also change with the breeding season. Yours is a double-crested cormorant while OP’s is a great cormorant.
Only a cormoron would mix up the two.
Oh interesting! TIL
I did not know this! Very cool:)
Cormorant aka the temperate penguin (by niche, not descent)
Great shot. We’re just now getting cormorants back. I haven’t been able to get any good ones. I love watching them dry their wings.
Ooh, great shot! :D
thank you!
