ID please - Arundel, UK (1 Viewer)

Taken at the WWT at Arundel.
I'm very new to this.. i know more about photography than birds, but i'm slowly learning!

Last one - coal tit or marsh tit? i know marsh tits are seen in that area.

Last one.. is this a cormorant or a shag? I've looked at the rspb site and in my rspb book and i can't tell. thought it looked more like a shag, but i dont think they're seen that far east on the south coast.


and if anyone fancies helping me ID all the others, be my guest! http://www.flickr.com/photos/yezzer

I've been to Arundel several times, so know the captive and wildbirds there rather well.

2: White-cheeked whistling duck (is it also called white-faced?)
3: Long-tailed duck

All of those are captive.
