Attack follows legal cormorant shooting
A 63-year-old angler was nursing a broken nose and ribs, plus two black eyes following a vicious assault by a birdwatcher.
St Helens AA member Malcolm Rigby was subjected to the attack at his local Carr Mill Dam, prolific bream and roach venue which has been used for big matches such as the UK Championship and British Open.

Malcolm Rigby, under instruction from St Helens Angling Association, visited Carr Mill Dam to legally shoot a single cormorant in accordance with a licence the club had obtained from the government.
