EDITORS COMMENTS
Kelp-tastic! This Antarctic Shag knows how to make a cozy nest in style. With its impeccable taste in nesting material, this adult bird is on a mission to collect the finest kelp around. Deception Island's coastal paradise provides the perfect backdrop for this resourceful avian architect. In December, while most of us are busy with holiday preparations, our feathery friend here is all about gathering seaweed like a pro. It's no wonder why these shags have become masters of their craft – they know that nothing beats the comfort and durability of kelp for their nests. As it gracefully glides through the icy waters surrounding South Shetland Islands, this adult Antarctic Shag showcases its expertise in maritime interior design. With each carefully selected strand of kelp, it adds another touch of elegance to its future home sweet home. Living life on the edge (of Antarctica), this subantarctic seabird proves that even in harsh conditions, one can still find beauty and creativity. So next time you're strolling along a beach collecting seashells, remember that there's an Antarctic Shag out there who takes nesting material collection to a whole new level!
