    1. You may be right Margaret, I always thought they were two different birds until I was recently told they were one and the same so I think I'll do a check for my own satisfaction.

  2. The same or different they are a nice subject for the photo. I really like the layered rock formation.

  3. Hello, Great shot! Even though the shag and cormorant look alike they are different birds. I googled what the difference is, the cormorant is larger in size and they have a heaver thicker beak. I like your photo of the shag and the neat rock formation they are standing on. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
