Shag or Cormorant ?

[Chaz Photos]

Not sure which.

It really all depends what you fancy at the time Chaz

Wiki certainly gives the definition as "the same bird" whether or not you (we) believe it, is another matter
Well caught BTW

I am going for Cormorant (well I could not say Shag could I )

I took a photos of one of these yesterday flying over and had to ask other half.

I think it's a Shag, but I wouldn't like to pass Cormorant as to how confident I feel about my choice.

Nice shot, whatever it turns out to be!

 

[BRASH]

It's a Shag, tell by the crest

 

[2blue4u]

Phalacrocorax aristotelis

Shag to you.
