Didn't get much time in Cornwall for Bord photographs, but I did get a few. One was a new one for me. I've taken many a Cormorant, but never a Shag....until today. Taken on the Helford River this afternoon#birds #Wildlife #photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #UK #BirdScrolling

@rothko yeah, they are different. A few differences here is a few. Shags have Green iridescent feathers on their necks. (Can just see this in the photo). They have different head shapes, then there is distribution. You will rarely find a Shag inland, but Cormorants can be found pretty much on any body of water in mainland UK
