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.

Hi Leo
ReplyDeleteWe see similar thoughtless acts here in Canada. The fisherperson gets their line tangled up, and in frustration simply cuts off a chunk and throws it away without any thought as to the damage it will cause. Sad thing about the Cormorant, but even more sad is the fact that the fishing line, following the death of the cormorant, will continue to wreak havoc probably entangling some other creature.
I look forward to your future posts.

Thanks Ernest. Yes, so easy *not* to discard plastics in nature and such afwul consequences when we do. Sigh.
