Here’s another imperial shag (also known as imperial cormorant), this time showing a bit more detail of the blue eye and orange nasal knob. In the breeding season, they also have those nice white whiskery things above the eye. This guy was obviously taking a bit of a rest — a difficult task I would imagine amidst all the noise of the rockhopper penguins and other shags. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/250th of a second
