SHAG (Juv) // PHALACROCORAX ARISTOTELIS (65-80cm)
LARGE, dark water bird with a heavy, hook-tipped bill, associated mainly with coastal waters. Swims low in the water and dives typically with a noticeable leap frequently for fish. Very large webbed feet, propel it through the water. Often seen perched on rocks or posts with wings outstretched to dry. The sexes are similar, think this may be a juvenile, seen a Ramsgate Harbour Kent UK.
