Have never even heard of the Shag until today and I am enthralled with the idea that the two different allied species could be freinds or even perhaps mates as I know that can happen. Great pictures, adorable birds ... we have many common Cormorants here and I always enjoy watching them dive and then sit on the side of the lake drying their wings. Thank you , Margaret ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-54004027643421483892014-02-27T00:09:30.962+10:002014-02-27T00:09:30.962+10:00I enjoyed your photos very much.I enjoyed your photos very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-87867567941315297932014-02-26T23:16:19.908+10:002014-02-26T23:16:19.908+10:00Oh I think they are both wonderful birds, great sh...Oh I think they are both wonderful birds, great shares Margaret~Mary Howell Cromerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473298562829352582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-12352028716282666902014-02-26T23:02:47.981+10:002014-02-26T23:02:47.981+10:00Good Morning Mr and Mrs Shag . . .Good Morning Mr and Mrs Shag . . .Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723721131329150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-73485465927653049322014-02-26T22:21:10.102+10:002014-02-26T22:21:10.102+10:00A new bird for me- the last shot does look like he...A new bird for me- the last shot does look like he is doing his morning stretches.
