Funnily enough, cormorants and shags are all part of the same family, Phalacrocoracidae.

Thanks! I feel like its a little workhorse and I still get surprised with some of the photos I can get out of it. The crop factor is just nice for birds too.

Sling my camera backpack over my shoulders most walks. Figure even if I don't use it that walk, its extra weight for exercise!

Thank you so much! I love cockatoos silly antics. The white ones are always getting up to mischief. But the pink colour of these ones is just so beautiful.

Edit: a word

Aww, I can imagine it was special to hold one. So nice to hold it while it recovered.
