European Shag

I love the color of the water around the bird!

Additional point: The bird was spotted in corsica. This is one of the areas where the "shag" is breeding.

Saar...Hope you get more pictures...!!!
I am not opposing...Cormorant...but its structure is give different look...may be that blue reflection on its throat caused different shape...I am confused..!!

Thank you for all the thoughts of you.

I think the pecker/bill does not really fit to "Juv. Great Cormorant" (the sharp edge at the end og the bill).

After all checking I think the closesd bird we found is the "European Shag" till now. I'm missing the yellow mark on my picture only....

By the way I found in internet that the "Shags" are a subspecies of "Cormorant" :-)

Nope.
Actually, the more I look at that fellow and the more photos I compare, I think it's a Great Corm. - tending now to adult Non-breeding though.

Check the head form, Ashish, it's much flatter at the Corm. than the Shag.

Nicole...I feel.. Its different from Cormorant...shape of Head and neck.

Head and bill don't look right for either Great Cormorant nor Pygmy (adults) nor Shag (bill to slim).

Comparing pics of Juveniles, it could be a Juv. Great Cormorant....

May be..

I felt neck (Head style) is not of Cormorant type..!!

Wow...good info...Thanks for sharing...!!
This will be learning lesson for me..!!

If you read the describtion on the different webpages about "Cormorant" on all of them you can find, that "Cormorant" a fishing close to the coast/beach in salt water too.

Could be a "Phalacrocorax niger/Microcarbo niger"?

Can be Anhinga...
Cormorants mostly located in Fresh water lakes and rivers.
