They fly out to forage early in the morning, often flying across the bridge to the south. Sometimes they fly to Hai Cang Wu Yuan Wan, sometimes they come over, sometimes they just play on the water and then go to the island.
Bird watchers said
In the past, the cormorans coming to Xiamen to spend the winter would also be active in the Yu Garden Branch area, but at night they would fly to Jinmen to rest, this year this phenomenon has changed, the cormorans seem to like the ecological island as a 'new home', occasionally flying over the pier to activity on the other side of the water.

Most of them are in a flocking state, some single birds go to other places to forage, each time they gather to fly to a point, five or six minutes and then change a place. The habitat is on the lake's heart island.
This group of cormorans' activity time is relatively fixed, after noon they basically play on the water in the Yu Garden Branch area, in the evening they return to the ecological island to rest.
It meets its habitat conditions, relatively better. First, the fish resources are still relatively abundant, the surrounding wetland vegetation is also abundant, the habitat is relatively far from human activity radius, so it doesn't affect them much.
