Thats an idea we should start putting Cormorant recipes up to get the F/Ns interested.

I think theyre fake, the fish are two well preserved. It looks like the birds have been cut open and the fish placed neatly in the gap.

Neddy I also thought that at first but if you look closely at the first bird on the left and the third one you can see other fish further down the gullit that are clearly rotting down.

Hi Neddy, the photo has been doing the rounds, I can't guarantee the authenticity, it is reported to have been taken in Germany, probably after a cull and these four were the best examples. From the sequence in he first link it is clear that this size of meal is easily taken so all that was needed was to kill the birds straight after they had eaten, highly plausible IMO.
