Mevagissey - Inner Harbour The inner harbour at Mevagissey is well protected by several breakwaters. As can be seen, it is a popular place to moor boats. There are coastal trips available from this little port.

Mevagissey - Preening shag I am reliably informed that this is a shag (Gulosus aristotelis) rather than a cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) as "the eye is separate from the bare skin at the base of the bill. Other useful signs for a shag are a thin bill, steep forehead, relatively longer tail and slimmer neck" (thanks to Hugh <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3176" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3176">Link</a> for this information) I think it is quite a young bird as it does not seem to have its full adult plumage, and apparently the fact that he has a white chin is indicative of this. It was busy preening itself on rocks just outside Mevagissey harbour.
