Parekareka, the spotted shag (Stictocarbo punctatus) breed only in New Zealand.
I have posted photos of this old wharf full of birds before. The breeding colony is at the steep cliff face nearby. It was surprising today to see so many in the mid-afternoon as they are usually out at sea fishing during the day. We passed the wharf again a couple of hours later and it was all but empty so they must have gone in search of their supper.

Wow, now that is one pile of birds. Would not like to clean up after them :)

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

What a grouping that is, wowie Lyn! I sure would not want them flying overhead. Lol! You and the TZ60 did good on this one.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
What a crowd! They seem to tolerate the gulls. Very nice shot of this unusual gathering (for us) Lyn.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
OMG, now that's a lot of birds, maybe they are having a Conference to make some major ideas of what to do next. Spectacular capture

They rather remind me of our cormorants in North America Lyn. They certainly believe in being in a flock, do they not? It would be fun to see them all take to the sky at once. Great shot.

Life is a Constant Audition
Lyn - Apparently, the conference was over when you came later in the day. It looks like the gull on the rail was the guest speaker, they didn't like the message, and left for lunch. With focal depth, you captured the scene very well. How nice of the clouds to cooperate in adding to the lines of the composition.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
super capture with a great line of the jetty!...The panny did good!
