RMW5AKND–Portobello Beach, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. 27th July, 2019. Shag, coastal bird (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) with wings outstretched just after heavy overnight rain. The structure of Shag and Cormorant and Anhinga feathers decreases buoyancy and thus facilitates underwater pursuit of fishes. Hence their plumage is not water-repellent, but 'wettable.' It has been suggested that the function of the spread-wing postures in these birds is to dry the wings after wetting. Credit: Arch White/Alamy Live News

RMHEWR8N–The variable oyster catcher is a familiar stocky coastal bird with a long, bright orange bill, found around much of New Zealand. They are often seen in pairs probing busily for shellfish along beaches or in estuaries.

They are long-lived, with some birds reaching 30+ years of age.
