Large cormorant sighting

John Kemble reports: "32 Cormorants over Kinsey Heath in a single skein. Is this a record – or are they escaping the credit crunch?"

'Skein' was a word that had the Audlem Online team reaching for the dictionary – it is, indeed, 'a flight of wild fowl, esp. geese and swans'. As for the credit crunch, cormorants are found in large numbers in Iceland but, as far as we know, while credit may be in short supply, fish supplies are still plentiful there.
