Last Sunday half a dozen cormorants were perched on the walls of the Fortezza Vecchia, between the Canaviglia and Ampolletta bastions.
If not common, they are becoming a less unusual presence even inside the Porto Mediceo.

They really are quite distinctive birds!
Not really attractive birds, but very interesting.
I have never seen one of these.
Cormorants are quite common in Florida, as are their cousins anhingas. Cormorants are also found in New England.
That first shot is amazing.
What a big bird, never seen it. Lovely images.
Have a happy new week.
Wow , first pic is amazing :)
Great shots, VP! We have some of these but I think we have more of their cousins - the anhinga. It's great fun to watch them fish ... they come popping out of the water, then dive again, and then pop up several meters away!
They look like they're posing for you. They are at least nicer looking than Canada geese! :)
Gosh!
I have never seen this bird here up in Scandinavia.
The top image is just perfect!
The first pic shows this bird at its best !
Cormorants are making a huge comeback in my area. They love to fish the Great Lakes.
i think they like having their pictures taken :)
Super shots VP.. we have so many cormorants here in WA, they are such posers :)
Okay, you got me...yes, the bear was Photoshopped into the picture - worked pretty good though, right?
First one I've ever seen NOT on a rock.
Lowell - Very good! It was the pose that made me a bit suspicious...
Areas around Toronto are being overrun by them. They put so many nests in the trees that the trees die and they push other birds out of the area.
And you got superb portraits!
They pose for you so nicely.
Top photo came out nicely.
Magnificent photos and bird.
Strange somehow, to see webbed feet on a brick wall.
