Shag
There’s a perky looking Shag at Brixham.
What an exceptional bird. That lemon-yellow gape and oil-black plumage is set-off by a jaunty crest. It must be breeding time again.
And how about those eyes? Deep emerald green.
I’m standing as motionless as possible and hidden behind a sign on the harbourside.
I must look utterly ridiculous.
