Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Not to be mistaken with the 'Shag' which has a different head and neck shape. This bird has been on the Marsh for a few weeks now and appears to like this perch to dry his feathers. Their plumage is not waterproof, which is an aid to diving. When seen swimming they have an almost submerged body profile.
