On the 16th, a black freshwater cormorant was perched on a willow branch that had undergone whitening on Bamseom Island in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. The 'whitening (白化) phenomenon' of the willows on Bamseom is caused by the excrement of freshwater cormorants. When whitening occurs, new willow shoots often fail to sprout well or wither completely. Therefore, the Seoul Metropolitan Government conducts annual water cleaning to wash away the excrement./Reporter Yoon Dong-joo doso7@
