As kids we only knew there were a black and black & white shags
and the latter were a pest to all anglers and moored boat owners
with their habit of stealing and spooking fish,then leaving a large
deposit on any moored boat they roosted on.
This led to culling and I believe even a bounty on their heads.
Today we are more tolerant but they are extremely vunerable
to large oil spills.
There are four species abundant in this area and all nest on nearby
islands or wetlands with red gums.
