Since the cormorant is a bird of prey, which kills fish to a considerable extent, it comes in many locations to conflicts with fishermen and fish breeders.

You can hear and smell them from afar: the cormorant colony at Nonnensee. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bird was almost extinct; only the granting of protected status in the early 1980s enabled the population to almost fully recover. Since then, it has been regulated by natural predators and competition among itself.

High up in the trees, they stack sticks and twigs to form nests, making a lot of noise.

Fun fact: To enable the cormorant to reach its diving depth of up to 9 meters, its plumage is not oiled. Therefore, we see the birds in their typical posture, with their wings open, drying their feathers in the sun.
