Colonies Colony Endemic Flocks New Zealand Shag Shags South Island Sea Birds

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Don Hadden, we witness a truly regal spectacle on Duffers Reef in Pelorous Sound. A group of New Zealand King Shags, also known as Rough-faced Shags, have come together to create an awe-inspiring colony that showcases the beauty and rarity of these magnificent birds. Endemic to the South Island of New Zealand, these majestic creatures are a true symbol of their homeland. With less than 500 individuals left in existence, it is a privilege to witness them thriving in their natural habitat. As they gather on the rocky landscape surrounded by crystal-clear waters, one can't help but marvel at their unique features. Their striking white plumage with contrasting black markings makes them stand out from other sea bird species. These shags exude elegance and grace as they navigate through the air and dive into the depths for their next meal. Don Hadden's skillful photography captures not only the beauty of these endangered birds but also highlights the importance of preserving their fragile habitat. Let this stunning image serve as a reminder that we must cherish and protect our feathered friends who call New Zealand home. So join us in celebrating this exclusive gathering of royalty – where every flap of wings tells a story and every squawk echoes resilience!
