North Sea 11-23 January 2023 - Offshore Cormorants

 Visited various fields including Gullfaks and Gina Krog and even did some work in Øygarden.

Once again lucky to get 10 minutes on deck on any given day and not even that at times.

Offshore I picked up the usual suspects such as Fulmars havhest, Gannet havsule, the usual gulls, Razorbill alke, Guillemots lomvi and a Little Auk alkekonge.

Two second year Cormorants storskarv resting on the Gina Krog platform were an unusual sighting - not a species I see a lot offshore but have occasionally seen them hanging around on platforms before.
