Black shags

Driving home today I stopped beside the Waikato River and noticed these black shags roosting on a dead tree in the river.

Well spotted. Looks like they are enjoying some sunshine.

Terrific capture. Like the fellow on the top branch stretching his wings :)

Very cool shag colony. Shags do seem to like dead trees - I think they contribute to the tree's death though.
