Here Are 31 Finalists Of This Year’s Bird Photographer Of The Year Contest
#15 European Shag By Brian Matthews
Is there any food left? In this image, a hungry juvenile shag literally dives down its mother’s throat for more fish rather than waiting for it to be fully regurgitated. It was taken on the Farne Islands, one of the most accessible ‘Puffin Islands’ in the UK. A short boat trip from Seahouses in Northumberland drops you into another world of puffins, guillemots, and ravenous shags. Spending time with this family, I managed to get some great behavioral shots. The Farne Islands aren’t just about puffins!
