Sighting Ref : IB48370
Sighting Date : 06 Sept 12
Common Name : Continental Cormorant
Scientific Name : Phalacrocorax c. sinensis
Location : Nethertown
County : Wexford
Number Seen : 1
Principal Observer(s) : Killian Mullarney Not Specified
Reported By : Not Specified
Comments : 2nd-cal yr. Identified as a sinensis-type on the extent of the gular pouch, the most consistent difference between carbo and sinensis in all plumages. This bird is ringed and amazingly, the number is concurrent with that of another ringed sinensis-type present at Rosslare Europort in February of this year, indicating that they are siblings! What's most intruiging, howeve, is that they were hatched on Little Saltee Island, Co. Wexford, where an adult sinensis-type was observed in June.
