Shag were abundant near Vardo and the bird island Hornoya. This was taken during the time that the boat trip was still in calm waters.

Excellent flight shot Rene.

Well composed and the light on the shag brings out the detail in the black feathers.

I thought that title said "bonking shag" for a minute!

A nice image, although I see a slight halo around the shag on my screen.

Jeremy's and my mind were on the same track!
Attractive shot but I can see halo too.
