Cormorants galore (Suliformes)

A slight hiatus occurred when a very colourful, very long train passed. All sorts of cartoon type things had been painted on the wagons.

We then found a gap in the trees enabling us to take in this view of one of the larger ponds. If you look closely at that those trees on the other side of the pond, you'll see that it is virtually covered in cormorants - I think there's a few different species there, but probably the main one is Little Black Cormorant.

Would this be called a "heronry" or a "cormoranty" LOL
