Shag in the park?

krappyrubsnif · December 2011

Could I have seen a common cormorant or shag flying over the lake in Finsbury Park? According to my I-Spy book of birds, it could have been. Big, but not a heron. I've never seen a cormoant in the park, but perhaps they do come and fish?

I sae 2 in Finsbury Park last week, they were in the small section near the running track, one I think caught a tiddler.

Lots of cormorants on the river Lee / Lea, could have flown in.

Highly unlikely to be a Shag - they're very rarely seen inland. Cormorants are lot less fussy and will pretty much pitch up anywhere there's fish.

I've seen Cormorants on the River Lea, sometimes perched on the bridge by Springfield marina with their wings outstretched. They seem quite tame and just ignore you when you go over the bridge.

Has anyone seen the Kingfishers in the Park? They were about in September.

I saw two cormorants on the lake on Saturday. One had its wings outstretched, drying them. Impressive.

Howdy, Stranger!
