an almost ex-cormorant, Linlithgow Loch

I just can't bear the things we do to nature. Here's a cormorant today on Linlithgow Loch, a metre or more of fishing tackle trailing behind as it flies, entwined around foot and tail. 

I wonder whether it'll have a quick drowning, trapped below the water, or whether it'll starve over days, dangling from a tree.

Please take home your plastics. Please take home other people's too.
