| Description |
I'm a newbie to BIF photography... would have been better if the light was from over my shoulder but I quite like this as a silhouette image. Shutter speed a bit on the low side but I quite like the slight motion-blur of the wings. If you look very very close, you can see 3 small drops of water falling from the tail feathers... A large black shag with black-brown wings and tail, and white-cream feathering over cheeks and throat. The skin about the eyes and base of bill is yellow, feet and legs black, bill grey, and eyes green. Adults early in the breeding cycle have the skin below eyes red-orange, white thigh patches, a small black crest on nape and upper neck, and variable amounts of white filoplumes on the crown and upper neck. Juveniles and immatures have black-brown plumage, which fades to sandy brown, and have variable amounts of white on foreneck, breast and abdomen, from none to extensive. Their facial skin is yellow, and eyes grey-brown turning to green. <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/node/246" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/node/246</a> |
