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.
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!
Out walking one day and came across Islington, one of the original big homes on the Taieri. A hedge is a fence, yes, no? ...
Here(UK) Shags and Cormorants area different species. look quite similar. Good shot

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