Topic: Caldies - The Calderstones Park Thread

[Son of Spion]

It's great to Cormorant's regularly in Caldies now, seen them in Sevo but never Caldies.

They do love Sefton Park lake. I've also spotted them recently on Greenbank too. I go fishing on the Leeds-Liverpool canal in West Lancashire and you see them on the canal as well these days.

I have been lucky enough to snorkel with hunting Cormorants twice, in crystal clear water. Once on Menorca and once on Formentera. They are amazing under water.

This thread reminds me, we need to get ourselves up to Calderstones Park again. Our dogs loved it there, but since they died we've not been.

You also see them on the weir at Chester waiting for their lunch to pop up from the Dee.

Ah, yes, I've seen them there too. Usually drying their wings after they've had their dinner.

The Cormorants haven't been there for a couple of years but at least one is there daily now.

There's a cormorant in Greenbank Park pretty regularly now. He seems happy enough there

There were three in Sefton Park last week. They must do a little tour of the local park lakes. I've actually snorkelled with Cormorants as they've hunted underwater. It's amazing to see.

I'll have to get up to Calderstones. We've not been there for a while.

Nice one lads.
If you go to Caldies it's usually on a branch broken off the island. Look across the lake with your back to Yew Tree Rd.
