Most HATED bird in the world? - The Great Cormorant 

Ngl cormorants don't really deserve to be hated and not only that they are also quite friendly towards humans

In China, fishermen share a mutual cooperation with these great birds by feeding them while they help them catch even more fish.

Cormorant most hated? Yeah, no. Let's talk about pigeons, grackles and seagulls. I've never seen a cormorant destroy a freshly washed sidewalk or car or steal your picnic snacks from your hand...

Hated??? By whom?? Danish people? Sad! These beautiful birds deserve to survive too. “Hated” Is an awfully strong label for such a gorgeous creature that is every bit entitled to survive and thrive in its intended natural habitat.

In the Uk they are known as the "Black Plague" they have colonised inland from about 2000 in the `80s to over 60,000 now and have devastated most rivers and likes, many of which are now devoid of fish due to them.. --that is why they are Hated.

I noticed a weird bird down by the duck pond in Sunderland, England today. Had a quick google to find out what it was and here i am now more knowledgeable than yesterday life is beautiful.

I loved watching these birds off the coast of Mystic, Connecticut as a child. I would count how long they were underwater and try to guess where they'd surface next. Good memories, but it's sad to learn how destructive they are to the fish population.

Actually they HELP HUMANS FISH. Historically fisherman have considered them good luck and they helped them find fish.

I thought pigeons were the world's most hated bird??

It’s interesting because it’s broadly understood that many species of animals & insects on Earth harvest needed resources from whatever area they’re in before depleting them and moving onto the next area while those resources naturally replenish themselves over time. This is the natural order of things & it’s accepted as normal… except when it comes to humans. When humans harvest needed resources from whatever area they’re in, it is often said that they are “stealing” those resources from other animals or harvesting them into extinction or scarcity, even though we’ve seen time & time again that gradually the natural world does indeed replenish itself. Even abundantly harvested oil fields appear to replenish over time. It may take longer than we’d like & we humans are very impatient creatures but it does happen. Anyway, I just thought that was fascinating.

I had never heard of these wonderful birds before! I was just studying the AV1611 king james bible in the old archiac spelling and comparing the differences to the modern new king james version bible when in Isaiah chapter 34 verse 11 it mentions the Comorant. I had to google it to find out what kind of creature it was and ended up here. God bless you and thank you for sharing such beautiful images of these birds with all of us! I will subscribe as i just love to see and learn about more amazing creatures all over the world. God really made such wonderful animals, birds, marine creatures and insects etc. Sadly just like this Comorant many birds and animals here in Australia are despised - I cannot understand it. I often think about how Jesus said that the things that are esteemed by man are an abomination to God (fame power money wealth manmade stuff...) i think well surely the things man despises like these wonderful creatures are highly esteemed by God- they are absolutely wonderful! When i think of heaven i think of a paradise filled with all the birds and animals and trees and everything how it was in the beginning before mankind wrecked it. Its interesting how humans hate birds eating the fish but its ok for them to fish entire schools of fish out of the ocean and leave nothing for the sea creatures or birds and then sadly so much ends up at the tip and or wasted not even eaten by humans. Humans can be so ignorant, selfish and greedy. I can only hope videos like this will open peoples eyes to see how beautiful and magnificent these creatures are so they would grow in respect and understanding and appeciate them and be more tenderhearted.

FAKE NEWS this bird is in fact beautiful. Peacocks are overrated

I think they're funny little guys.

Never heard anyone say they hate cormorants.. I'd say most hated bird is a pigeon

Lol, my ex missus, now that's the most hated bird in the world,.

Loved the photos. Think they are beautiful❤❤❤

New viewer here. Beautiful video in California. We don’t have the Great Cormorant, but we do have three other species: the Brandt’s and Pelagic found only in coastal waters, and the Double-crested, found both on coastal waters and in inland waters. I’ve never heard that they were called the most hated bird in the world, but then again I’ve never talked with a commercial fisherman about this. anyway great video. Keep up the good work.

Why the hell people hate cormorants????????

I'm danish but i don't hate them

Beautiful video. Thank you. Cormorants are a problem in river and lakes especially in high numbers. Unfortunately, they migrate and create problems in the place where they can be prolific

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing it. Really enjoyed watching it. Have a nice weekend my friend 👍

If you have an arable farm this bird isn't the most hated bird. Wood pigeons and Crows can devastate the crops. Although, I do get your drift. Nice upload all the same. 👍 Great footage and channel too.

Just thought a cormorant was a duck. Decoyed perfectly!! Needless to say he’s dead af

This bird needs to be removed and allow to live where it is native only, and no it's not native to the us/america just cause wiki says, it's not correct, don't b a fool

My favorite bird.. So expresive. So poetic.

Is that the same cormorant species use by fishermen in China to fish?

Fabulous photography and superb dialogue Dennis.

Yes the always abundant and most easiest bird to get started in bird wildlife photography here in the USA in the great state of Florida found in the Everglades National Park area. They have cast iron stomachs as I seen them catch fish half their size flip them in the air and swallow them whole. No table manners at all but fun to photograph. BTW what Sony lens and tele-converter combination was used so I get an idea of distance from subject. Thanks in advance, good job.

Amazing 🥰🥰🥰💯🇧🇩

They might be the perfect bird.

Moin Dennis. Great video. Well, years ago my hobby was fishing in the Baltic Sea. I didnt like the comorants very much. Now my hobby is, as you see, taking pictures in the nature, I was able to made some portrais of this bird and I found them beautiful with the green eyes. Also during the brood the male looking nice with the white coloures neck. Thank you for showing this video. Greetings Karl-Heinz

"Hold fast to the swoop of the Cormorant." ("Kia mau ki te kawau maro.") Our Maniapoto tribal saying means to stick to the triangular spear formation used in battle to fiercely attack and swallow the enemy whole.

Tactical Dodos!

Awesome

Beautiful bird

Absolutely beautifully film. You doing a great job. I didn't know that Cormorants are most hated birds in the world but I can see why.

"Promosm"

Here in Germany City of Bonn they going crazy the Fishers are frustrated never thought that 1 Bird can eat up to 7 well sized fish in a row

So they don't chew or bite food ? Wow that's amazing.

🤗..Noisy but what a sound .Much nicer than many loud humans .As for the nest building and diet .What can the critics say ? Humans have destroyed so much land for all birds , contaminated water and eaten much fish when our choice is huge.Your filming is superb .Living in Berlin I see many cormorants as they have huge colonies and protected islands ..I have a large camera but carrying it is not so easy ..Their almost prehistoric look is amazing Thanks for such beautiful footage .Greetings from Berlin ,Helena.👏🏻

Beautiful video!

Estupendo vídeo Dennis. Tienes toda la razón del mundo en cuanto a que es una de las aves más odiadas, sobre todo por los pescadores de río, pues las culpan de que pescan demasiado. Aquí en Asturias-España todos los años hacen batidas para eliminar unos cuantos, pero el problema es que no se sabe a ciencia cierta si eliminan lo que está estipulado o masacran alguno más. La pesca furtiva, la contaminación de los ríos también tienen algo que ver, o no, pero eso no lo nombran. En cuanto a su primo el cormorán moñudo, tengo publicado un trabajo de campo exhaustivo durante unos diez años donde se recopilaron datos del número de ejemplares en las colonias de cría, puestas, alimentación, métodos de pesca, etc etc. Me tocó en la época de la diapositiva, si llega a ser hoy en día seguro que las imágenes serían mucho mejores. Un saludo.

Yes, I enjoyed the video with all the information about the birds. Thank you.

Great film as always, o love the your Loons are exquisite ❤🎉

Beautiful video Dennis. Just a question, why that title? I didn't know there were hated for some reason.

Excellent video Dennis with some beautiful images and footage. I do like your slow motion flight footage.

En mycket bra ide med dina fina bilder, och information om arten. Tack från Sverige!

It’s actually a seagull now but okay

Thank you for being a 'defender' of cormorants - a most intelligent seabird.

I like them I take often photos of the P.c. Sinensis here.

Awesome footage clip

Superb filming!

As always, great video. I’m not a fan of the cormorant. As interesting and fascinating as they are, I seldom see them do anything dynamic that warrants my photographing them. Sometimes I see one catch a large fish that seems impossible for it to eat. But that’s rare. Snake birds!

Thanks I have been watching the Great Cormorants on Lake Ontario, and I also have some great pictures of them during a full moon last Fall overlooking the Hudson River. Today a friend showed me their breeding grounds and the tree looked like something out of Jurassic Park! (That many big birds in one place is a little jarring!) I did not know much about them, thank you for this.

Why r they hated

Bloke chill😮

Thank you!

which bag do you have for the A1 + 200-600mm ?

I ❤ them

I dislike birds that attack humans.

Beautiful 😍 I just saw my first one today in a park in Dublin, beautiful creature made my day

These are one of my favorites. A spirit animal if you will. Love them!

These are one of my favorite species of birds, they’re super intelligent and so beautiful!!!

Dine videoclips hører til på øverste hylde og dine stills er på et ligeså højt niveau. Tak Dennis, for en rigtig god oplevelse !

Hated only by fishermen. They are quite attractive birds, very efficient predators and, as you have shown, they make good subjects for video and photos.

Every living thing in nature has a mission, although most people don't find cormorants very cute, I love them and it was great to see them so clearly Dennis😍👏Thank you also for the information you gave and you are always wonderful my dear friend🫶🙋🏼‍♀️❤️

I just recently started learning about these cool birds after seeing them in my local wildlife refuge for the first time. (It seems like they come through during migration season.) I think it's kinda sad they get such a bad rap, I find them fascinating! Much like the Great Blue Herons (which I see here year-round), I think they're probably one of the best modern reminders that birds are dinosaurs! 🦖 Their squawks are really something else!

Great Cormorant : Simply wonderful bird .

One of my local favourites❤great video Dennis

I think the cormorant bird is a beautiful bird and I watched the video you shared and found it most interesting, but we don’t have them here in Mississippi or none here I seen that even come close to this bird

Such a BEAUTIFUL bird! What a disgusting title.
