Cormorants

Dungeness - 0900hrs - cold, drizzle, w2 - Cormorants, the old fishermans friend, not a bird that often features on the blog, but this morning could not be ignored as they were even more numerous than Great Crested Grebes. I counted 725 going west around the Point which was very much a minimum number and quite a spectacle. Also, well over 500 grebes on the water plus hundreds of Kitts and auks and lesser numbers of Gannets and divers.
Had a quick scan of ARC and New Diggings before the rain really got going, but could only make out a couple of Smews from the causeway road.
