A pair of Mediterranean Shags now in their breeding season in courtship display on the eastside of the rock. One of the many reasons why we need to preserve and protect Gibraltars natural heritage and coastline.

Camouflaged on the cliffs of Gibraltar, a Grey Heron and a Mediterranean take a break during their morning fishing session. At this time of the year our coastline pays host to a number of different seabirds and waders that visit us for the winter.
