Merlin is a very good record Simon, so good infact that Phil 'Rummy' Rhodes himself has only had one record there before smile.gif, due to shift work lately though he hasn't managed to get there all week and he can't remember last time that occurred!

17 cormorants at 11.30 this morning, the most I have ever seen on Rumworth, 16 on the edge of the island and just one on the more usual posts.

This is bad news for the Royal Ashton Angling Society, who have managed the water for over 100 years and who are now struggling for members largely due to fish loses through the beaks of cormorants!

3/11/07 mid afternoon

Mr. Rhodes and myself observed the following ;

3 Stonechats.
4 Wigeon.
4 Snipe.
Little Grebe.
3 Cormorants.
Kestrel.

The vegetation on the islands has been stripped to a minimum, and new shingle has been deposited ready for next seasons breeders. A tremendous improvement ! (Pennington take note ! ! !)
