#12 Muriwai going south

#13 Gannet families with Gannet Chicks.

First flying lesson is jumping off a cliff, very brave birds but they are successful.

  Yes, the dark ones are children, they lose fluffy down and develop dark feathers which change as they mature. Thanks Ellie.

      Thanks Ellie, they are brave birds, first time they fly and jump off a steep cliff into treacherous rocks and waves…
