RingedCormorant_211008aa.jpg
Cormorant160 viewsI noticed this Cormorant was ringed, so I brought the photo to the attention of Pete Marsh of LDBWS, a few emails later I was advised the Cormorant was "ringed as Pullus, Puffin Island, Anglesey 13/07/2008". Knowing something about the history of the bird makes what was otherwise just a record shot much more interesting.
