Liners' Photoblog
What are we??
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 1 December 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I don't know what these guy were but there were hundreds of them! This was just outside Dunedin on the way to seeing the Albatross...tomorows gem:-)
Bit of research and I think they are Pied Shag
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

Wow, must be amazing seeing these guys in the wild! At first glance I thought it were penguins :)

Hi Liners - looks very much like what Jacqui and I saw at Stony Point. There are definitely some penguins here, with some other birds to keep them company (in our case it was cormorants). Love your angles here - super photo.

Oh My sweet girl, I don't know if I can find words beautiful enough to describe this jewel of a photo, the varying shades of green are heavenly...oh gosh 5, 10 hundreds of stars aren't enough

A typical NZ Sunday beach party, now they must climb up. Pied Shag? sounds like a character in an Austin Powers film.

I don't know either. But it is a wonderful composition in fine colours. Well shot.

wow there are so many of them all in the one place! the angle is interesting as it creates bands of colours diagonally across the image! a great sight to happen upon!
