One of the unfortunate effects of time is that it has reinforced the misleading ID of the cormorant depicted on the sign near the Snipe Blind, JWNR. Without for a moment condoning the practice of DIY rectification of
wrong signage, I felt some sympathy for the rectifier of this particular labelling. The original artist had clearly taken some care to show a Great Pied Cormorant (aka Pied Cormorant), by including at least 4 distinguishing field characters, before the image
was appropriated to add to the waterscape a more likely, but pictorially absent, Little Pied Cormorant. I expect that opinions will be divided on whether it was a GOOD THING that the well-intentioned corrector had only an erasable texta pen in his or her
pocket.
