Cormorants West Pier Brighton by Alej ez

Red Victorian Steel Irons Brighton West Pier Cormorants. If you are observant of wildlife you might have spotted cormorants drying their wings on the ruins of the West Pier in Brighton. These birds are rather elegant with their slender figure, long necks and anthracite iridescent feathers. Attributed to Christoper Isherwood is the following poem. ‘The Common Cormorant or Shag, Lays eggs inside a paper bag. The reason you will see no doubt It is to keep the lightning out….’ This poem no short of humor was composed at a dinner party, guests set each other the challenge of writing a poem containing a given word. The cormorants are resting on what was before a beautiful Victorian leisure pier. The West Pier sadly was destroyed by a series of fires and remains only its bent structure of rusted wrought iron.
