| Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo |
I spent the last two days at Arundel WWT and saw Kingfishers flashing past the Sand Martin and Scrape hides many times, sometimes in pairs. One perched on the SM post for 2 seconds and I managed a 1.2 second video of it. Yesterday I watched a Cormorant fishing very successfully from the Scrape hide lake where it caught six fish. A Black-headed Gull attempted to steal one of its fish. A Little Grebe landed, displayed by flapping its wings and attracted another who swam fast over to it. A pair of Water Rails fed in front of the reed beds and the tree island and one appeared in front of the Scrape hide.
