Dear Friends of #fishing,
On #Tooting #Common this morning just as I rounded a corner by the #pond, I heard several loud retorts, like gunshots. Carried on walking and there was a man with a large stick and a rather battered metal sign. I assumed he had been hitting the sign very hard. I asked if he did not like the sign and was told he was frightening away the #cormorants, "... because they eat the #fish?," I inquired, giving him a wave as I passed.
"That's right," he assured me.
Anyway the load bangs stopped. The cormorants circled the pond and maybe went elsewhere ...
Some people take their fishing very seriously.
