This is a large rock near Split Apple Rock that a group of spotted shags (Stictocarbo punctatus) have made into a favoured roosting spot. Spotted shags do breed on cliff faces around the Abel Tasman coast, but their real strongholds in the breeding season are the Canterbury and Otago coastlines and Wellington Harbour.
