December 2011 part 2

27th We visit the reserve and the sky looks like its been painted with blue and white stripes.

We see lapwings, teal, greylag geese,  crows and a crowd of cormorants called a flight.

Cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo). Traditionally found on rocky cliffs and estuaries, but can be found on lakes and rivers in winter. They feed on fish .
