"The
cape, bank and crowned cormorants are all endemic to South West Africa
so make sure you tick all three species off when visiting Walvis and
Swakopmund." "Cormorants
can see well both above and below water, a difficult trick that humans
can not manage. They achieve this trick by having a soft cornea that
allows it to flatten when they are underwater and so compensate for the
change in vision needed."
"To
see the “hard core” seabirds like petrels, shearwaters and albatrosses
you are best off taking one of the cruises out of Walvis Bay or Long
Beach that look for dolphins and seals. You have a chance of jackass
penguin on such a trip." |
