While I was watching fish in the rock pool there was a commotion in the tree above me as an adult pied shag arrived to feed its offspring.
I didn't see the wound on the adult's neck at the time - only now that I'm processing the photos.
Chick less than three weeks old found among nikau and manuka debri Coromandel Forest Park Coromandel
Awful cell phone photo, sorry. Called in a tree right by me while playing disc golf
