Hi BenjiS. I have to apologise abut the picture as the image is not 100% perfect and in that respect requires a closer look. However the picture is of a Shag. If you look in the picture comments above habitat I have itentified the birds a Shag

Hi Sue and Simon. Thanks for commenting.
I have been up to Chasewater today again. The Shag is still there and i managed to get another picture of it, although it was must further away this time so the picture is not as detailed. However, on a more positive note, i managed to snap 1 of the 2 Great Northern Divers that are there. I will post an image of it later.
