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. A Bellbird singing. So what are you waiting for?
