Gannets (Morus serrator) on a stack.
The Gannet Colony at Muriwai Beach, just north of the Waitakeres, icludes about 1,200 pairs of adult gannets that nest here each summer and make a lot of noise. Apart from birds pestering other birds and pulling their tailfeathers one also has a magnifiscent view of the Tasman Sea and of Japanese Tourist taking pictures of other Japanese Tourists with their mobiles. We’ll be back to watch the gannets hatching in summer…
