| Leonie with the cormorant found at Austinmer. |
This little
darling turned up when the big winds were on a couple of weeks ago. He must’ve
been blown off course as he was in all sorts of trouble at Austinmer near the
ocean pool when Australian Seabird Rescue received a call.
So off to Leonie’s
for some warmth and TLC. She got him back on his feet, then moved him to a
larger enclosure and pool where he made himself quite comfortable and ate a
heap of pilchards. We decided to let him go but he wasn’t having any of that
and wanted to go home to his private pool. A couple more days and plenty of pilchards
it was time to move him on. So back to the lake and he waddled out of the cage –
had a look around and was last seen wandering up the wharf to the other
cormorants. He certainly owes his life to the lady who spotted him and Leonie’s
nursing skills.
