I went for a walk last Saturday, along the river when I came across this Cormorant. It was sitting on the bank that I was walking on and made no attempt to fly away. Another couple had stopped as well to have a look and the Cormorant didn't move. I have never seen then on the bank like this before, only in the water or on rocks drying their wings. Initially I thought it may be a Shag but the crest is on the back of the head not the front. The sun wasn't really coming from the right direction at the time I took the photograph but the markings on its back are quite clear. There are quite a few Cormorants that inhabit the river, anytime you are walking along the bank you are likely to see one.
