I was thinking you might show the bird actually swallowing the fish because I’ve seen other photos of cormorants eating fish where I’ve thought, “No, idiot, you’ll choke!” and then they swallow the fish and it’s triple the size of their throat 😳 and “NO STUPID YOU’LL DIE!” and then they finish swallowing the fish and they’re fine. 😼

So yes, cormorants are smarter than I am.
