Cormorant Conservation !

[wotnobivvy]

Just watched an article on the One Show where they were using a drone to map Cormorant pairs (over 500) all in the cause of cormorant conservation. This was on Puffin Island off the coast of Wales. This is the first I have heard of them being an endangered species. Then at the end Matt Baker expressed his love of them !!
