Royal Shags and Tricky Parakeets: Birding Queen Charlotte Sound

10,000 Birds

The King Shag has a small population breeding on four protected islands in the Sounds and a small number regularly roost on on Blumine Island (and have even been nesting recently, perhaps successfully), and sure enough they were there and we were able to admire them. One last surprise on Motuara island were some Blue Penguins !
