The cormorants society, Kerkini lake, North Greece
This wonderful biosphere is recouped by the Internetional Convention of Ramsar and presents numerous admirable elements. Thousands of birds, both rare and protege, riverside forests, water-lilies in a large area, fish variety and fantastic panoramic view from the mountains of Beles and Krousia give it a characteristic tone. Actually the lake hosts 227 kinds of birds, especially non-migrants. 76 of them are recorded in the National Red Catalogue, while at least 31 of them are protected by EEC's Directive concerning wild life. What makes an exceptional presence is the buffalo's herd in the area, plus the one of the jackelo in the area of Kerkini lake. In the surrounding area of Kerkini lake there are at least 10 amphibian species (frogs, salamanders, tritons), 5 snail species, 19 reptile species (lizards, snakes, turtles) and a great variety of insects which play an important part in the food chain and contribute towards the biological resources of the lake.

Looks like a Cormorant apartment building. All the rooms are full, put out the 'No Vacancy' sign! Good shot. Good POV. Well done. Thanks.

Very nice picture of this Cormorant nesting area. Nice details and well composed. Very near to where I live is the biggest nestingarea of Cormorants in the Netherlands. You can find a picture of it HERE. Well done & TFS!

Wonderful picture of these big birds. I have never seen them in Greece, although I went by car in Northern Greece several times during the 1970:s.

nice colony, TFS Ori
