European Shag portrait (Phalacrocorax aristotelis)

Not getting too many Shags down in Norfolk, it is great to be able to get as close to them as you can on the Farnes. Some of them are literally nesting a rope's width from the path, though this one was a bit further away. The light wasn't great for most of my stay on the island, but hopefully I've done this one justice.
