The old wharf has become a nesting colony for these Spotted Shags and the rarer (and only recently recognized as a separate species) Otago Shag, both natives of NZ, and members of the cormorant family. Last Spring about 346 nests were counted by Dr Chris Lalas who has monitored the rare birds since 1977. The Maori name for the Spotted Shag is Pārekareka

A very good capture of this huge group of Shags. I think this has a good perspective, and it's well composed. I wonder how close you could get before take off? :) Good one Lyn! tigs=^..^

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
It looks like they are in boot camp and doing calisthenics LE.
I bet that pier is slick.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Sergeant "Cyrus Cormoran" shouted "All hands PREEN" and all the cormorants began preening. Nice one of this action in unison Lyn.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Looks like a redo of The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock...great work getting this one, Lyn.
