(phalacrocorax carbo)
The Great Cormorant can be commonly seen fishing in, and flying up and down the river between Lake Koycegiz and the sea. On the lake single birds can be seen fishing almost anywhere. Keep a look out for the much rarer Pygmy Cormorants which can also be found on Lake Koycegiz - they usually are found in a large flock close to the shore in the north west part of the lake.
