Wikipedia: European shag
Classification: Genus Phalacrocorax; Family Cormorants and shags (Phalacrocoracidae)
General:

The European shag or common shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) is a species of cormorant. It breeds around the rocky coasts of western and southern Europe, southwest Asia and north Africa, mainly wintering in its breeding range except for the northernmost birds. In Britain this seabird is usually referred to as simply the shag.^[2] The scientific genus name is Latinised Ancient Greek, from φαλακρός (phalakros, "bald") and κόραξ (korax, "raven"). The species name aristotelis commemorates the Greek philosopher Aristotle.^[3] Due having some notable differences from all other cormorants, some recent studies instead support placing it in the monotypic genus Gulosus.^[4] [more]
