Tweet Take 5 : Shag and Cormorant

Available for over a year

In Britain we have two distinctive large black waterbirds. One, the shag, named after it's shaggy crest, is a marine seabird. The other the cormorant, is increasingly a bird of inland waterways and wetlands, as we'll hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the shag and its relative the cormorant with Sir David Attenborough, Miranda Krestovnikoff and Helen Moncrieff of the RSPB.
