A shy bird fishing

Now you see them .....

A shy bird fishing
Cormorants fishing on river

Regular walkers along Ferry Road may have caught an occasional glimpse of a cormorant family either side of the bridge disappearing from sight under water as they chase fish - and then re-appearing briefly like the one above.

But they are very shy and, if they become aware of you watching, they disappear at a rate of knots. However the lockdown and general reduction in human activity seems to have made birds in general more adventurous - as they forage for worms in my back garden - and the dawn chorus seems to have become noisier and noisier.

Or is it just the absence of traffic?
