Info

Cormorants are fish-eaters, catching their prey by diving fromthe surface. They are excellent divers, and under water theypropel themselves with their feet with help from their wings.After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seenholding their wings out in the sun, to dry them off.44
Black kites are opportunistic hunters and aremore likely to scavenge. They spend muchtime soaring and gliding in thermals in searchof food. Their angled wing and distinctiveforked tail make them easy to identify. Theyare also vociferous with a shrill whinnying call.45
