LITTLE (PIED) SHAG (Phalacrocorax Melanoleucos)

The little Shag is the smallest of our (NZ) shags and their colour ranges from pied to all black. They all have short stubby yellow bills in the adult stage and they have brown eyes and black feet.
So here's one measuring up to the standard about to take off for the feeding grounds of the Christchurch Estuary.
thanks for looking.
