On a previous thread I asked the forum on what action to take to deter
cormorants from our stocked water.
Since then we have been told that cormorants “don't get on with” -
sea eagles.
We are now going to erect a 15ft pole – at the top will be a cut-out of a
white tailed sea eagle.
It should look quite impressive with a highlighted white tale and big yellow
beak .
To make it more life like it is also perched on a big spring.
Our members are getting fed up with going to the pond early, every morning
and trying to - “Shoo them off “.
What do the forum members think? - I'm not taking any bets.
I will keep you all informed on the result.
Looking forward to be cormorant free. Peter

"just shoooooo"T the cu*ts off.

You could to make it more realistic add waterproof speakers set to blare out a sea eagle call every 15 mins or possibly look in to ultra or infra sonic devices to deter them because if their hearing freq. is higher or lower than humans playing a really loud sound in this range would make them sh1t themselves abit like you standing beside a very large speaker playing rerally loud

Just found out that a birds hearing range is between sub 50hz and above 20khz, but haven't found anything specific to cormorants prehaps someone could halp.

ROOK Your very right there mate(BANG) and thats that no problems after that

My mate is secretary of loch mill in newburgh, they had bother and put out in a dingy what you call a scary man,these are used in lettuce fields round here to keep of pigeons, they are worked of a car battery,every so often they inflate and pop up emitting a siren ,he said they worked a treat,i also have the best thing in my gun cupboard they dont come back after meeting this but you need a liscense to let them meet it
