That's a Cormorant. Shags heads are all black without the white throat.

Nor can I, but then again I've never had a cormorant.

Don't worry; Christopher Isherwood got confused as well:

The Common Cormorant, or Shag,
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason, you will see (no doubt),
Is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never realised, is that herds
Of wand'ring bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

Juvenile shag, I reckon.....but not sure

"Juveniles have dark brown upperparts and pale underparts with a white chin "

You can always remember...

...a good shag, but it's difficult to remember a good cormorant.

There's no such thing as a good cormorant

Re: You can always remember...

A good shag is usually preceded by a pair of Great Tits.

Does this post indicate that Claymore is back from her summer cruise, or just paused for a wee while to check out what's happening on the forum?

<hr width=100% size=1>It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

What\'s the difference........

....... between a good shag and a good sh*t?

You don't have to cuddle the sh*t for hours afterwards.
