********************

The Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the
Great Black Cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere,
the Black Cormorant in Australia and the Black Shag
further south in New Zealand, is a widespread member of
the cormorant family of seabirds. It breeds in much of
the Old World and the Atlantic coast of North America.

The Great Cormorant is a large black bird, 77-94 cm in
length with a 121-149 cm wingspan. It has a longish
tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have white thigh
patches in the breeding season. In European waters it
can be distinguished from the Common Shag by its larger
size, heavier build, thicker bill, lack of a crest and
plumage without any green tinge.

This is a very common and widespread bird species. It
feeds on the sea, in estuaries, and on freshwater lakes
and rivers. Northern birds migrate south and winter
along any coast that is well-supplied with fish.
