Idle and watch cormorants catch fish

Today's weather is gloomy, the wind is full of the slight cold of early winter, because the light is not good, I did not take a camera, and I did not dare to go far during the epidemic, so I came to the edge of the Bailong River to watch cormorants catch fish. The success rate of cormorants catching fish is extremely low, but they are very active and diligent, and several cormorants take turns to dive deep into the water I don't know how many times, not even a single fish is caught, and the people who watch it are so anxious. Whether it was the treachery of the fish in the river or the problem with their skills, I watched quietly for more than an hour, and I never saw the scene I wanted to see. In order to solve the hunger in the belly, the diving failed again and again, tired to float on the surface of the water to breathe, crouch on the stone spread wings shake the water droplets on the body, a little rest will dive into the water again to continue to find fish. Ah! Finally, a cormorant luckily caught a small fish, and before the partner next to him had time to grab it, he raised his head and stretched his neck a few times and went down, and fluttered his wings contentedly and flew into the distance, and the cormorant that did not catch the fish continued in the turbulent river.
