On rocks in the middle of the lake

Stopped off at Western Springs for a walk by Te Wai Orea. Right out in the middle of the lake is a pile of rocks, where birds rest for a time. On the highest rock  a Karuhiruhi (Pied Shag)  lorded it over all the other birds, at least for this afternoon.

The extra is of a female Putangitangi (Paradise Shelduck)
