Click external link here for detailed species information Click external link here to see distribution map and to hear calls There are a number subspecies recognised including the ground nesting Common Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo carbo) which occurs in Britain and Ireland that breeds on coastal rocky outcrops and on off shore islands. The tree nesting Continental Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) which breeds in Northern Europe extending eastwards to Japan, but has in recent times colonised parts
of southern Britain. This is apparently a rare subspecies in Ireland
with less than 70 records but is in all probably under recorded. |
