Nesting Shags

It was so uplifting to discover this colony of nesting shags at Kai iwi Lakes on our recent road trip, north of Auckland. Vern and I watched their nesting behaviour for about an hour before we reluctantly had to get on the road again. I only occasionally see shags at our local park, so it was a real treat to see about 100 of them sitting on nests and feeding their young.
