out and about - 2015

 

24 February 2015 .............. Cormorants fishing

 

The cormorants were obviously getting some rich fishing in the highly aerated water below the barrage on the Afon Tawe where it flows into Swansea Bay - they regularily popped up with a fish in their beaks.

There were lots more cormorants sitting on the yellow floating markers.

I guess that fish would get a bit dis-orientated by the water coming over the barrage, and take a while to find the fish ladder over in the corner.

It was a mean looking stopper, no doubt caused by the sloping front of the barrage - not a place to be in a small boat !
