Cormorants are a natural part of our environment- it's human's that have overfished the oceans- not cormorants nor seals or any other scapegoat!
Yes cormorants may take a lot of fish in a stocked lake, but that's just like putting out peanuts to bring in Blue Tits. "Nice" doesn't mean anything in ecological terms, but I think they are magnificent birds too + as much a part of our natural heritage as a Golden Eagle or a Starling!
