The Surrey cormorant problem is a most vexing question for our times.<BR/><BR/>Maybe suburbia is wildlife's last refuge. The natives are generally friendly. Out in the countryside you'll get shot, hunted or starved. Move into those leafy 'burbs, though, and it's all there for the taking.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074816573442173758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-19686082393396820942009-01-08T14:11:00.000+00:002009-01-08T14:11:00.000+00:00Ah I envy you that encounter Sophie - I've yet to ...Ah I envy you that encounter Sophie - I've yet to see my first goldcrest this year.

Two bushes side by side emitting squeaks caught my eye - one containing goldcrests and the other long-tailed tits.
