94 Cormorants headed out fishing were joined by a further 3,500 flying in from the north onto the Cork Sands at the limits of visibility an hour or so later. We have no idea where the Cormorants are roosting when they are shifted from their preferred roost site at Loompit Lake, a phenomena that has gone on sporadically for several winters probably dependent on the amount of effort that is put into hassling them inland. Only migrant noted today was a single Jackdaw flying north although it's difficult to know whether this is just a wandering immature from up the town in search of new sites or a genuine migrant.
