Shags

Iceland

These birds look a lot like the cormorant but their called shags. They mainly differ from the cormorant by having some feathers that stick up out of their head forming a kind
of top on top of their head. In can be seen in this picture the bird in the nest is not at all happy with the lower bird stealing some twigs from it´s nest.
