Eel Catcher


No change on the duckling numbers today, and time to view another river predator. The Cormorant or Shag seems to be a regular fish hunter on the lower reaches. Today I watched as it deftly manipulated a slippery eel, this is the time of year when eels enter the river in quite large numbers - hopefully it will give the Mink something to chew on rather than ducks !
