Lampwick Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Don't blame the cormorant for our abuse of the sea! That looks like a dab if I'm not mistaken and as a sea fish that's what I'd expect them to eat! It's when they moved and stayed inland our problems began. However this has only happened since our impact on the sea appeared to force them inland (along with a few others such as seals in the rivers ie as far as Norwich) Once inland the birds found easy pickings and stayed to breed just look at the amount of gulls about. Still they are devastating on inland fish populations! Shippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shippy I look back fondly at the time all we had to bother our fish stocks was the cormorant, the otter now is rapidly delivering us to the end of angling on unprotected/fenced waters! Great picture BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great picture BTW They certainly consume some fish, constant stream of them coming into mudeford harbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
