Why it matters
The European Shag is a specialized pursuit diver that thrives in rocky coastal environments, distinguishable from its relative the Great Cormorant by its distinctively narrow wings and pointed tail. Ornithologists and bird enthusiasts prize this species for its remarkable underwater agility and the seasonal development of a curved crest on the heads of breeding adults.
