These are such nice shots, Russ. I especially like the first one. It kinda looks like the wind is really blowing hard.

Very nice! I spent 3 weeks on the s.island NZ and didn't see one of these :(

Thank you. This was taken in the North Island. You will find Pied Shags in the South Island as well, but only in certain places.
