Angolan island paradise for Cape Cormorants

Blog post on Conservation Namibia by By Gail C. Potgieter, 9th August 2019.

Take a close look at the image. Each black dot is a Cape Cormorant (see below) as seen from a light aircraft. Can you count the cormorants? This aerial view of a colony of Cape Cormorants is a composite of several of the thousands of images taken during a 2017 survey of Ilha dos Tigres, an island off the coast of Angola. The purpose of this survey was to document all visible animals using this island, so every dot counts!
