My family's fishing expeditions tend not to yield fish, so when my daughter wanted to go fishing on Sunday, I took my camera, as other wildlife can often be more readily captured on camera than fish on hooks.
My longest lens isn't particularly sharp, but at social media size the results look acceptable. Pied shags / Kāruhiruhi are reasonably common around coastal New Zealand.

A recent possible sighting has renewed hopes the bird is still alive - and it's been reported near previous suspected sightings.
