Shags mostly find food by swimming around underwater, often along the floor of the sea or lake. This little shag is feeding in fresh water, surfacing briefly for air. Pied shags can stay underwater for more than three minutes on one breath. Compared to ducks, shags float low on the water; because they are less buoyant, diving is easier.
