This was white when we first saw it and then it changed to yellow with bright blue spots after about 5 minutes while we watched it.
It was found living in sea grass..(there was a storm recently with big seas)

I know it's a bird but I'd like it added to our project!!
I put a fixed camera on a ledge in one metre of water at Shiprock aquatic Reserve pointing down to the channel and lo and behold when I looked at the footage there were fish and more fish for many minutes....and then a cormorant swimming under water right towards the camera!!!!! How amazing!!What luck!!!
