Otherwise called shags but they have made a home in Oamaru's harbour on an abandoned wharf which has been shut off from people. It's quite famous. We were in the harbour restaurant enjoying the most delicious lunch - really high class and not that expensive. The sun was blazing in but we were fortunate enough to have a table with an open window. I was able to take lots of photos and this is one of them.
Do I know this place? Is your restaurant the one we went to when we were on penguins watch? It’s a fantastic photo….love all the shags taking over the wharf!
Beautiful crowd. It's good that they found their place on the old quay. When they inhabit an island I immediately make it a desert without plants and life.
