Christmas Piking cancelled due to the weather and a cold, so, bored as I am, filled in the 3 I saw this morning circling over the lakes on the other side of the river.

I see them every day now. Between one and fourteen every morning. The floods seem to be keeping them hungry though
It ok these groups saying they need culling but by the time its comes around to getting the nod there will be no fish left a bit like stable door and bolting horses i know things dont happen overnight but how long has this debate been going on for now

It's getting there. I read they have been added to the general list in Europe so it can't take forever for us to follow. Can it?

Seriously hope not, at this rate there'll be no food left for the otters.
We don't seem to see so many on the Hampshire Avon these days.
That said I have stopped taking water from the river for my Kelly Kettle as most of the cormorants seem to have suffered from lead poisoning, so I reckon that the water is to blame!

An average of at least 7 on a local pit as only a few anglers this time of year - and they seem to be a lot bolder these days.

Had a walk around my local park yesterday, spotted two cormorants, was in formed there were eight hanging about here. Can't see the good fishing lasting long, rather worrying.
