Birding in public

At lunchtime yesterday we celebrated my grandma's 99th birthday by going to a restaurant in Ipswich which overlooks the marina. I spied a bird on the water which looked like a Shag, but it was too far away to confirm without my bins, so I went back there this afternoon. After a false alarm with a Cormorant (and following some surreptitious use of binoculars in a busy public place...), I found the Shag swimming around and feeding near the UK Border Agency cruiser.
