The Predators

A Cormorant – the last bird anglers want to see at any waters containing fish. They will travel miles inland from the coast to feed until they can barely fly. Corby Loch is less than two miles from the sea ‘as the crow (Cormorant) flies‘ and there are regularly several ‘fishing’ through most of the year. One positive note there are obviously fish in the Loch!

A sign of warmer weather

With some warmer sunny spells the Seven Spot Ladybirds have appeared early in the garden.
