Gannets at Muriwai

We had a different day today, first attending Shane Kennedy's mother's funeral at midday then going on out to Muriwai to check out the gannets and the beach. We won't talk about putting the MX5 in a ditch trying to do a 3-point turn on a gravel road - nice lady living nearby gave us a tug on the tow-rope :-(



Here's the gannet colony, and the best 12 of quite a few pictures:













Dad's going fishing, you kids can go, too. Muriwai is safe, isn't it?

Comments:
Oh no poor little car!! Great Gannet photos, you captured some great in-flight photos. They are very photogenic I've been enjoying them on David's site as well.
 
Car was OK, just bottomed out on the diff and gave no grip for the wheels.
The gannets are just great to watch, you can get much closer to them than we saw at Bempton Nature Reserve in Yorkshire. But I would like to re-visit Bempton when the Puffins are there.
