Spring Babies
My favorite time of the year when mama ducks proudly parade their line of babies. This mama has 11 babies following her. Can you count all 11?

Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus)Observer
gregslakDescription
This male Hooded Merganser had just settled onto a large rock (This is the same individual that I had been observing asleep for over an hour on a different rock), when what I believe is a female Merganser decided to stake a claim. It was an interesting dispute to watch and its resolution can be seen in the final photos. Did you really expect anything else? Perhaps she was simply encouraging this weary waterfowl to get off the couch and get out and get some exercise. In any case, his refuge (shown in the final photo) seems noticeably less comfortable.

Surveillance pigeon!
I really like it when birds find and fully utilize every last square millimeter of un-bird-spiked space. See also: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/282821

Sea Swallow (Glaucus atlanticus)Observer
tangatawhenuaDescription
Is it a fish? Is it a slug? Is it a fishy anemone? I do not have a clue what this is!
It is about 30mm long and there were a few of them in the sand - outgoing tide nearly on the turn. Most were buried and only the "fan fin" was showing.
Resting on the wet sand, when the sand collapsed it arched it's face upwards (2nd and third photos) and seem to spawn capsule from somewhere - there are 2 floating in the 4th pic.
Totally hypnotic, by the time my sister-in-law and I carried on the brother had walked 2kms away from us!
