Breeding Colony of the Australasian Gannet, Muriwai, New Zealand

Breeding is highly seasonal (Oct - May), with nesting on the ground in small but dense colonies. Adults tend to stay within the vicinity of the colony after breeding. The Australasian Gannet has established three mainland colonies in New Zealand, at Muriwai, Farewell Spit, and Cape Kidnappers.
