A slow start for 2016 as we have all had the virus that's doing the rounds.

Is Plastic Fantastic?
I saw this unfortunate Cormorant a few days ago at Swanpool. The RSPB site says they do not (apparently), deal with injured birds, which I could maybe understand if it was an act of nature but this is a man made problem. The RSPCA said they were aware of the situation and were monitoring it daily! What do they think is going to happen? certainly the fishing line/net is not going to just fall off. Maybe they are monitoring how long it takes it to starve to death. Myself and Peter from the Swanpool Cafe did try to approach it but it moved further away. I'm sure that one of the professional organisation, with their expertise could manage to rescue the poor thing. Hopefully, it has now been dealt with one way or another.
