Shags are goose-sized dark long-necked birds similar to cormorants but smaller. In the breeding season adults develop a dark glossy green plumage and prominent crest. In the UK they breed mainly in the north and west, and over half their population is found at fewer than 10 sites, making them an Amber List species.
