Shag?…

or Cormorant if you prefer… a pair of them in fact.  I caught these chaps doing a spot of fishing just by the Riverside Inn and having considerably more success than the fellas that cart tonnes of gear up the tow path during the season!

I had seen them before up nearer the weir, but never this close to town.  I thought they were a salt water / sea bird, maybe someone can tell me what they are doing on the River Avon?…
