27 reactions | The Muriwai Gannet Colony It is one of New Zealand's few mainland gannet colonies, featuring over 1,200 nests, and is most active from August to March when the birds are nesting and raising chicks. Visitors can access viewing platforms via a short walkway from the car park at Maukatia Point, which offer spectacular views of the coastline and the gannets. #muriwaigannets #muriwaibeach | Sarhento Sandalan | Facebook

30 reactions | The Muriwai gannet colony is one of only three mainland colonies in New Zealand, with up to 2,000 birds nesting on the cliffs and offshore islands from August to March. Fun fact: they fly at speeds of up to 145 km/h, with chicks migrating over 2,000 km to Australia before returning at 3-7 years old to breed. #muriwaibeach | Eldheza Sualog Tejada | Facebook
