This is the colorful, yet odd looking, imperial shag — also known as the imperial cormorant. They were nesting on the southern edge of Sea Lion Island in the Falklands. All day, they would fly out to sea before returning with a beak full of kelp. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 175mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second
