Peek-a-Boo Pygmy - A Rare Glimpse of Europe's Elusive Cormorant in the Danube Delta!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by talented photographer Martin Zwick, we are treated to a delightful portrait of a Pygmy Cormorant perched majestically on a tree branch. This enchanting bird, known scientifically as Phalacrocorax pygmeus, is not only an endangered species but also holds the title for being one of the smallest cormorants in existence. The Danube Delta serves as a sanctuary for these near threatened creatures, with approximately 80% of the entire European population finding solace within its wetland embrace. As we gaze upon this stunning image, it becomes evident why these feathered friends have chosen this picturesque location as their home. With its sleek black plumage contrasting against the vibrant greenery surrounding it, our avian protagonist exudes an air of mystery and elegance. Its beady eyes seem to hold secrets from distant lands while its delicate frame hints at remarkable migratory journeys undertaken across vast distances. As we admire this exquisite creature frozen in time, let us remember that preserving such precious habitats like the Danube Delta is crucial for safeguarding not only these unique birds but also countless other wildlife species that call it home. So next time you find yourself captivated by nature's wonders, take a moment to appreciate and protect them – just like Ardea Picture Library has done through their breathtaking prints
