The photo I posted yesterday of the spotted shag didn't really do this perfectly adapted species justice. I liked the photo because, for me, there was something comical about the birds stance. His head swiveled round past 90 degrees, staring accusingly at the strange man on a kayak disturbing is sun bathing. He had a real Mr Magoo way about him. He almost looked lost, there alone on that remote shell beach. In reality he had probably spent all morning gorging himself on the smorags-board of fresh seafood riding the tide past that spot, and was now trying to sleep it off in the warm afternoon sun.
Anyhow I thought I post a more flattering photo of the Spotted Shag today...
