Muriwai Beach, Auckland’s West Coast (4/10)

A few gannets fly over the sea, and they go out to sea watching out for fish. Muriwai is a Gannet Colony and they fly around here. Some fly to Australia and then later on back to this same place.

Many people come here not just to swim and surf but to see the Gannet Colony. The Gannets are fenced off, for their own protection. So they can rear their young chicks without being disturbed.
