It 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.

Distribution:
A widely distributed and fairly common resident.
Widespread throughout much of Europe.

Population:
The European population is at least 117,000-128,000 pairs.Turkish population 2000-5000.The British population is estimated at 10 300 pairs, with 3 650 pairs in Ireland. Russian population 20000-25000

Good work, Selen..
Once again the Mediterranean atmosphere is in the image through these adorable pastel colouration...
Compositionwise you took risks by capturing more species; so it has to be underscored that the composition is okay...

Merhaba Selen hanım,
anı çok iyi yakalmışsınız ve mükemmel bir kompozisyon olmuş.Ellerinize sağlık.

nice combination , greetings Ori

Excelent capture Selen.
Beautiful contrast between the action of the heron in flight and the relaxed pair of cormorants who don't seem to care about the big brother in the air above them.
Perfect exposure and very nice soft background colors.
Great work. Best regards, Harry

Hi Selene,
Great capture of the sympatric lake dwellers. The freeze frame action is fabulous as one can enjoy all the feather colors and details in the plumage of each bird. :)

Soberbia toma con los dos Phalacrocorax de fondo
y esa garza real (heron) en primer plano "aterrizando". Una fotografía llena de oportunidad con unas expresiones de las aves magníficas. Enhorabuena por esta gran toma.
