It always amazes me how flexible birds’ beaks and jaws must be for them to swallow what look like impossibly oversized fish but swallow them they do. This handsome Cormorant, already beginning to acquire the white mane of its breeding plumage, made quick work of consuming this particular fish and one other in the short time I was watching. I’m sure it thought its lunch was delicious.

Great capture! No wonder, cormorants are used to do fishing for their owners in many places around Asia … They catch multiple fish in their neck and then gurgle out the whole fish, back in their owner’s boat… 😄

Thanks, Fatima. Yes, many years ago, in China, I saw fishermen returning from a day’s fishing, their boats full of fish and Cormorants.
