Stop killing Cormorants

Cormorant culling has been used as a 'quick' method to calm the pressure of anglers (fishermen) in different parts fo the world. Anglers that say the birds are eating 'their' fishes. We think that the solution is never killing the animals but analyzing each situation to find scientifically-based solutions.The situation can be particularly tragic as in some parts of Europe e.g. Asturies in Spain. Help saying that killing animals is NOT the solution.

Cormorants

The fishermen scream blue murder so that the wintering population of Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) feeds trout (of excessive form according to them), and have obtained that some regions governments “regulate” (kill) these populations.

And now the government, kill a high number of Cormorants, without saying that really exhaust our rivers are the fishermen.

Whenever the man put to regulate and to control any natural species, the disaster is assured.

Sad.

Atlas of wintering birds. VN3040

One of the most ambitious projects of the SEO/BirdLife, is the atlas of wintering birds.

These days I have finalized one of the squares that I have assigned and I believe that the balance of the three years is good.

Although has been a big effort.

The route, within the valley of zamanzas and the highland of bricia.

Two very different zones in vegetation and birds.

In all route I have located 28 different species from birds, I emphasize Brambling and Dartford Warbler.
