Pied shag drying its wings
Wild Wellington, where there are native birds within metres of the CBD
Phalacrocorax varius or pied shag - shags are called cormorants in other places, they have no oil gland like other sea birds, so if they don't dry their wings they get heavier and heavier with the water until they drown.
