Gannets of Muriwai

Artist:

Janina Castro

Muriwai, New Zealand

Notes:

Up on a steep cliff in Muriwai is a colony of Tākapu Australasian Gannets beginning to nest for spring. Sitting with the gannets, you can see them preening and squabbling over vegetation to use in nest-building. The waves roar as they crash into the cliffs while Tara White-fronted terns fly overhead.
