    Another photograph of that greedy Black Shag. Be careful not to do this with your Christmas meals.

    This Shag had eaten a rather large meal, probably a fish. Every now and again it reared out of the water to try and swallow it.

    This shag is one of our biggest, I managed to catch it on top of a post.

    Past Blast 2

    Had seen a peregrine causing upset in the distance but didn't forsee it coming from behind my shoulder. Caught the cormorant and both tumbled, spiraling downwards, the peregrine letting go only when they'd hit water.
