Black Cormorants live in Bristol Floating Harbour and dive for fish. After diving you can see them with holding their wings out to dry. They do this because they are less waterproof than ducks. Having wet feathers helps cormorants to sink and therefore dive deeper for fish and eels. A lot of cormarants can be seen on the Avon river in december.
