Merimetsot alkavat palailla pesimäseuduilleen, kun merijäät pikkuhiljaa sulavat. – Great cormorants are migrating back to their nesting sites as the sea ice gradually melts.
Kuvissa voi nähdä hyvin höyhenpuvut eri ikäisillä linnuilla. Vanhoilla linnuilla on soidinasussa päänseutu runsaan valkoinen ja jaloissa valkeat läikät, nuorilla viime vuonna syntyneillä vatsapuoli on vielä valkeahko ja höyhenpuku rusehtava, muut ovat siltä väliltä riippuen iästä. Sukukypsyyden linnut saavuttavat 3-4 vuotiaina.

In the pictures, you can see the plumage of birds of different ages. Old birds have a rich white head area and white patches on the legs, young birds born last year still have whitish belly and brownish plumage, others are in between depending on age. Birds reach sexual maturity at the age of 3-4 years.

a yawning cormorant (I'm not sure it is "yawing" or something other though) #bird #nature #cormorant

And when out looking in the nature for #Stone, Rock, Boulders etc, you also manage to see a lot of birds perched on them, or just in the vicinity of them (so expanding the scope with some #Bird #Photography for #BlueSkyArtShow) #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #Egret #Stork #Heron #Cormorant

☀️Eindelijk weer een zonnige start na die regenachtige dagen... En de aalscholver kwam ook nog even buurten. Deze watervogel was op het gemak op zoek naar een ontbijtje.
